Peripheral Nervous System Manifestations Associated with COVID-19

AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe present review discusses the peripheral nervous system (PNS) manifestations associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Recent FindingsNerve pain and skeletal muscle injury, Guillain-Barr é syndrome, cranial polyneuritis, neuromuscular junction disorders, neuro-ophthalmological disorders, neurosensory hearing loss, and dysautonomia have been reported as PNS manifestations in patients with COVID-19.SummarySevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19. COVID-19 has shown syndromic complexity. Not only does SARS-CoV-2 affect the central nervous system but also it involves the PNS. The PNS involvement may be due to dysregulation of the immune system attributable to COVID-19. Here we review the broad spectrum of PNS involvement of COVID-19.
