    COVID-19-Associated Bifacial Weakness with Paresthesia Subtype of Guillain-Barré Syndrome
    (American Society of Neuroradiology, 2020-06-25) Hutchins, Katherine L.; Jansen, Jaclyn H.; Comer, Adam D.; Scheer, Richard V.; Zahn, Gregory S.; Capps, Alisha E.; Weaver, Lindsay M.; Koontz, Nicholas A.; Neurology, School of Medicine
    We report a case of bifacial weakness with paresthesia, a recognized Guillain-Barré syndrome subtype characterized by rapidly progressive facial weakness and paresthesia without ataxia or other cranial neuropathies, which was temporally associated with antecedent coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). This case highlights a potentially novel but critically important neurologic association of the COVID-19 disease process. Herein, we detail the clinicoradiologic work-up and diagnosis, clinical course, and multidisciplinary medical management of this patient with COVID-19. This case is illustrative of the increasingly recognized but potentially underreported neurologic manifestations of COVID-19, which must be considered and further investigated in this pandemic disease.
