SARS-CoV-2 infection has various manifestations including neurological and musculoskeletal system involvement. COVID-19 infection causes peripheral nerve lesions including small fibre neuropathy. Complex regional pain syndrome is a debilitating neurological condition manifested by predominantly pain associated with other sensory, motor, autonomic and tropic involvement. Identification and early treatment of CRPS has better prognosis. Here, we report a 21-year-old woman presented with pain, hyperalgesia, and swelling of left upper and lower limb following SARS-CoV-2 infection managed as possible complex regional pain syndrome.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染有多种表现,包括累及神经和肌肉骨骼系统。2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)感染会导致周围神经病变,包括小纤维神经病变。复杂性区域疼痛综合征是一种使人衰弱的神经疾病,主要表现为疼痛,并伴有其他感觉、运动、自主神经和营养方面的受累。识别并早期治疗复杂性区域疼痛综合征可带来更好的预后。在此,我们报告一名21岁女性,在感染SARS-CoV-2后出现左上肢和下肢疼痛、痛觉过敏及肿胀,被诊断为可能的复杂性区域疼痛综合征并接受治疗。
