In these days of the pandemic, we have faced with the locomotor system problems following severe acute respiratory syndrome-coro- navirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. While some of these problems are related to the disease itself, some of them are associated with the prolonged immobilization during the infection. Long-term intensive care unit admissions of patients may also lead to various types of neuropathies, extending the recovery period. The real burden of the novel coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) is still unclear. In particular, after a prolonged hospitalization period, the duration of rehabilitation may be longer to gain independence in daily living activities. In this report, we present a different aspect of the COVID-19 with bilateral foot drop in a 53-year-old female patient. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first report of both peroneal and sciatic nerve damage following COVID-19.
在疫情当下，我们面临着严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）感染后出现的运动系统问题。其中一些问题与疾病本身有关，而另一些则与感染期间的长期制动有关。患者长期入住重症监护病房也可能导致各种类型的神经病变，延长恢复期。2019新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的实际负担仍不明确。特别是，经过较长的住院期后，康复期可能更长，以便在日常生活活动中获得独立。在本报告中，我们呈现了一名53岁女性患者因COVID-19导致双侧足下垂的不同情况。据我们所知，该病例是COVID-19后腓总神经和坐骨神经损伤的首例报告。
