Case report: Rare Guillain-Barré syndrome variants and mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion as the para-infectious manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection
This case highlights the unique presentation of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The involvement of both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) in this case underscores the complex neurological manifestations of COVID-19. Although the exact underlying pathogenesis of this case is unclear, inflammatory cytokines, particularly IL-6, may be implicated. Further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms underlying these complications and to optimize treatment strategies for affected patients.
