Abstract
COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), profoundly infectious disease which manifests as respiratory symptoms is potentially fatal due to multiorgan involvement and greatly of public health concern. However neurological symptoms could be the first or only symptom of the disease. Here, we report an unusual case of an international traveler who was diagnosed with COVID-19 after presenting with bilateral lower motor neuron (LMN) palsy, despite showing no respiratory manifestations at initial presentation.
