Vertebral Algic Syndrome Treatment in Long COVID—Cases Reports

Though pain is a frequent symptom of long COVID-19, little attention has been paid to vertebral algic syndrome. Therefore, we present the cases reports of two precisely selected physically active patients where vertebral algic syndrome and radiculopathy dramatically worsened in acute SARS-CoV-2 infe...

Due to the absence of standard therapeutic guidelines in literature sources, it was decided to provide routine therapeutic procedures. Spinal surgery with radicular decompression was performed within 6 months after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. This led to the improvement of their neurological status and was in corroboration with decreases of VAS (from 9 to 0 in Patient 1 and from 7 to 1 in Patient 2). Our experience indicates that these patients benefited from the standard neurosurgical radicular decompression, and sufficient pain relief was achieved; nevertheless, the initial trigger of neurological worsening was acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.Andrej DžuberaJuraj ChocholRóbert IlléšAlica ChocholováErika ZemkováMDPI AGarticleSARS-CoV-2 infectionback painradiculopathysurgical treatmentlong haulersMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 11457, p 11457 (2021)
