Abstract
With surging numbers of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients throughout the world, neuromuscular complications and rehabilitation concerns are becoming more apparent. Peripheral nerve injury can occur in COVID-19 patients secondary to post-infectious inflammatory neuropathy, prone positioning-related stretch/compression injury, systemic neuropathy, or nerve entrapment from hematoma. Imaging of peripheral nerves in COVID-19 patients may help characterize nerve pathology, identify site and severity of nerve damage, and potentially elucidate mechanisms of injury thereby aiding the medical diagnosis and decisionmaking process. This review article aims to provide a first comprehensive summary of the current knowledge of COVID-19 and peripheral nerve imaging.
