Popis: We retrospectively analyzed clinical, NCS/EMG, and NMRI aspects of five COVID-19 intensive care unit inpatients that received mechanical ventilation. After awakening from sedation, they experienced peripheral neuromyopathic symptoms. Teaching Point: Acquired peripheral nerve injury has been described in COVID-19 infection and knowledge of the clinical, nerve conduction studies/electromyography (NCS/EMG) and neurographic magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI) findings are crucial.
