cord-355841-m6dl8a0w	Munz, Maike	Acute transverse myelitis after COVID-19 pneumonia	2020-05-26		.txt	text/plain	858	72	47	A repeated throat swab showed a negative SARS-CoV2 PCR. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine revealed T2 signal hyperintensity of the thoracic spinal cord at Th9 level suggestive of acute transverse myelitis rather than multiple sclerosis [3] (Fig. 1a) . SARS-CoV2-PCR in the CSF and oligoclonal bands were negative. Follow-up MRI on day 6 further showed a patchy hyperintensity of the thoracic myelon at Th9-10 and at Th3-5 level (Fig. 1d) , suggestive of transverse myelitis. Follow-up CSF on day 12 showed normalization of cell count (3/µl) and regressing protein levels (734 mg/l), no Maike Munz and Swen Weßendorf authors contributed equally. Cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in association with severe COVID-19 infections were reported [6] . In a series of 58 severely affected COVID-19 patients, 67% showed clinical corticospinal tract signs but received no spinal MRI [7] .
