%X Movement disorders are extremely rare in acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and in the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We herein report a 34-years-old previously healthy woman who presented with a febrile illness and a constellation of movement disorders (predominantly myoclonus) followed by encephalopathy. After exclusion of common infectious, autoimmune and paraneoplastic etiologies, she was diagnosed to have COVID-19 induced ADEM, which responded to intravenous methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin. Our case adds to the tally of cases of post-SARS-CoV-2 infection related movement disorders and to the exceedingly rare list of cases in which movement disorders preceded ADEM.
