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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
