Acute Transverse Myelitis as a Neurologic Complication in an Asymptomatic COVID-19 patient

We report a case of a female presenting with sudden onset of bilateral lower extremity weakness and hyperesthesia and was managed as case of acute transverse myelitis. Diagnostics such as CSF analysis, autoimmune and infectious workups were unremarkable. However, patient tested positive for COVID-19 incidentally since she didn’t present any COVID-19-related pulmonary or systemic symptoms. Thoracolumbosacral spine Magnetic resonance imaging revealed longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. She was then administered with intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy and underwent extensive physical rehabilitation with marked improvement during outpatient follow-up
