Neurological presentation of COVID-19 is increasingly being recognised. Cranial neuropathy in COVID-19 is an uncommon and under-diagnosed entity. We report a case series of 4 patients who presented with trigeminal neuropathy (two cases) and facial nerve palsy (two cases) which recovered with conservative treatment along with the review of the literature.
