Abstract
Myalgia and headache are relatively common in COVID-19 disease, but the serious neurological disease is rare. In this case, we describe the symptoms and clinic of AMSAN, a rare variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) due to COVID 19. We presented a case of AMSAN, a rare variant of GBS, in a 46-year-old male patient with a poor overall condition that did not recover after COVID-19 disease, loss of strength in all four extremities, and CSF and EMG findings. We added another GBS case due to Covid-19 infection to the literature. It should always be kept in mind that GBS may develop after the COVID-19 disease.
