Isolated Trigeminal Mononeuropathy: A Possible COVID-19 Sequelae

COVID-19 infections have been linked with multiple neurological manifestations. One of the infrequent complications of post-COVID-19 infection is trigeminal neuropathy. Despite its infrequency, few cases of trigeminal neuropathy following COVID-19 infection have been documented in the literature. However, there remains a paucity of evidence regarding isolated trigeminal neuropathy following COVID-19, particularly in cases devoid of pain but characterized by sensory deficits such as loss of sensation and paresthesia only. We describe a clinical case of trigeminal neuropathy that emerged after a COVID-19 infection at our institution. Our case report delves into the clinical presentation of such trigeminal neuropathy that would aid clinicians in including this pathology in their differential diagnosis.

Abstract

COVID-19 infections have been linked with multiple neurological manifestations. One of the infrequent complications of post-COVID-19 infection is trigeminal neuropathy. Despite its infrequency, few cases of trigeminal neuropathy following COVID-19 infection have been documented in the literature. However, there remains a paucity of evidence regarding isolated trigeminal neuropathy following COVID-19, particularly in cases devoid of pain but characterized by sensory deficits such as loss of sensation and paresthesia only. We describe a clinical case of trigeminal neuropathy that emerged after a COVID-19 infection at our institution. Our case report delves into the clinical presentation of such trigeminal neuropathy that would aid clinicians in including this pathology in their differential diagnosis.
