Free Content Coronavirus Disease 2019‐Associated Brachial Plexus Neuritis

We present 2 cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated brachial plexus neuropathy. In the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic, many explanations have been proposed for this entity such as positioning-related peripheral nerve injury, microvascular-induced ischemic plexopathy, postinfectious inflammatory neuropathy, or systemic neuropathy. It is often challenging to establish a diagnosis because the potential diagnoses overlap. However, it is important for clinicians to be aware of the potential etiologies of brachial plexus neuropathy in patients with COVID-19.
