Abstract | RATIONALE: PATIENT CONCERNS: DIAGNOSES: The patient diagnosis was established using thoracic and lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Contrast-enhanced thoracic and lumbar MRI revealed subdural (dorsal predominant) short T1 and slightly long T2 bands in the T12-S2 infundibular canal in the scan field, and the subdural hematoma was yet to be distinguished from other diseases. Spinal cord edema was observed in the left vertebral plate and facet joint of the T11 vertebral body, indicative of inflammation. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was positive for COVID-19 nucleic acid. INTERVENTIONS: Antiinfection, immunomodulation, correction of acid-base balance and electrolyte disorders, improvement of circulation, nerve nutrition, and other symptomatic supportive treatments were administered to the patient. OUTCOMES: LESSONS:
