Common Peroneal Nerve Injury in a Patient with COVID-19 Infection

This report described a 46-year man with the characteristic Computerized Tomography (CT) scan findings of Corona Virus Disease Infection 19 (COVID-19) who presented to hospital right ankle weakness three weeks after pneumonitis. He had been initially hospitalized, complaining fever, myalgia, cough, and dyspnea. Electromyogram (EMG) revealed obvious evidence increased insertional activity (IA) significant denervation potentials, including positive sharp waves (PSW) fibrillation particularly in dorsiflexor muscles. Moreover, no voluntary motor unit action potential (MUAP) was observed. Eventually, patient diagnosed severe axonal mononeuropathy CPN, which could be considered rare complication COVID-19.
