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.enADEMAcute disseminated encephalomyelitisCOVID-19Movement disordersMyoclonusSARS-CoV-2AdultCOVID-19Encephalomyelitis, Acute DisseminatedFemaleHumansMovement Disordersresearch article34265625open access10.1016/j.jneuroim.2021.5776551872-8421PMC8243636https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8243636https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8243636/pdf
