COVID-19 infections have been linked with multiple neurological manifestations. One of the infrequent complications of post-COVID-19 infection is trigeminal neuropathy. Despite its infrequency, few cases of trigeminal neuropathy following COVID-19 infection have been documented in the literature. However, there remains a paucity of evidence regarding isolated trigeminal neuropathy following COVID-19, particularly in cases devoid of pain but characterized by sensory deficits such as loss of sensation and paresthesia only. We describe a clinical case of trigeminal neuropathy that emerged after a COVID-19 infection at our institution. Our case report delves into the clinical presentation of such trigeminal neuropathy that would aid clinicians in including this pathology in their differential diagnosis.
新冠病毒感染已与多种神经表现相关联。新冠病毒感染后不常见的并发症之一是三叉神经病变。尽管其不常见，但文献中已记录了少数新冠病毒感染后发生三叉神经病变的病例。然而，关于新冠病毒感染后孤立性三叉神经病变的证据仍然不足，特别是在那些没有疼痛但仅以感觉丧失和感觉异常等感觉缺陷为特征的病例中。我们描述了我院一例新冠病毒感染后出现的三叉神经病变临床病例。我们的病例报告深入探讨了这种三叉神经病变的临床表现，这将有助于临床医生在鉴别诊断中考虑这一病理情况。
