We have read with interest the case of post-COVID 19 transverse myelitis in a child described by Harsheen Kaur et al. [1] .

The literature reports also isolated cranial nerve palsy COVID 19 related [2, 3] .

We present the first case of post-COVID monolateral III cranial nerve palsy in a 2-year-old child affected by Sphingosine phosphate lyase insufficiency syndrome (SPLIS). SPLIS displays a wide spectrum of manifestations including steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, endocrine involvement, lymphopenia/immunodeficiency, and neurologic problems (e.g. developmental delay, neuropathy)
