To the evolving literature of neurological complications of SARs-CoV-2 infection, we add the youngest patient described to date with isolated LETM and concomitant cardiac involvement.

Practitioners are encouraged to consider aggressive first-line immunotherapies with the final aim to prevent permanent disability.
