Abstract
The article is devoted to the issues of peripheral nervous system damage in new coronavirus infection. Among the nosologic forms of peripheral nervous system lesions in new coronavirus infection are mononeuropathies, polyneuropathies, multiple neuropathies, and noninflammatory polyneuropathies. In the largest retrospective study to date of cranial nerve pathology in COVID-19, dysfunction was observed in 38% of infected individuals. Facial nerve involvement was most common (30%). The article presents a clinical observation of facial nerve neuropathy after a new coronavirus infection with an assessment of the clinical picture, data of laboratory and instrumental investigations, therapy and long-term results. A possible causal relationship between COVID-19 and peripheral nervous system lesions is discussed.
