Since its discovery in December 2019 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV2), coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has opened up a pandora’s box and put the entire health-care industry globally under trial by fire. Neurological manifestations of it started becoming apparent in first few months and as of now we are still facing never-ending gamut of central nervous system (CNS) disorders related to SARS-COV-2 infection. Spinal cord involvement in COVID-19 although very well documented, overall remains uncommon.
