A first-reported case of postinfective acute transverse myelitis has been described in the literature [2] , suggesting that spinal cord can be the target of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, we can deduce that the neuro-shocking and neuro-irritative effect of SARS-CoV-2, in addition to hyperglycemic neuro-stress, can have a promoting and synergistic role in the manifestation of the tetraparetic transient acute clinic. As described in this case, the neuroinvasive and neurotrophic potential of SARS-CoV-2 could have a synergistic and promoter role in determining neuro-irritative and neuro-shocking effects, without necessarily causing neuroimaging evident organic damage.
