COVID and cranial nerves

Sarah Breevoort10/13/22 2:15 PM (CDT)

33 yr otherwise healthy female had mild COVID in April 2022 and in May began experiencing bilateral perinasal numbness that progressed to involve anterior tongue and lower face. Also with some mild abnormalities in vision. No MG symptoms but with increased fatigue during the day. Neuro exam otherwise normal besides facial and tongue numbness. Outside provider did LP, rheum panel, infectious panel and MRI brain - all normal.
I'm checking lyme ab for completion and MRA but is anyone else see insolated cranial nerve involvement following COVID?

AANEM Connect Terms of Use

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
