Abstract
A 69-year-old otherwise healthy woman presented to our clinic with irradiated cervical pain, imbalance, and motor weakness and numbness in the left hand, which had been ongoing for 7 days. Eight days before the onset of these symptoms, she had fever and dry cough. The authors thank the patient and all the physicians and health personnel involved in the care of patients in the COVID-19 pandemic.
