Popis:	Abstract Background Several complications have been reported in COVID-19 infection. Most of the complications include secondary infection. Case presentation We report an 85-year-old male who presented with cauda equina syndrome 7-months after contracting COVID-19 infection. We excised an extradural mass which on examination proved to be Spinal Aspergillosis. Conclusions Spinal Aspergillosis should be kept in mind in patients who present with local spinal pain with or without neurological deficit after COVID-19 infection.
