- Abstract
We aimed to present five patients with ataxia-myoclonus syndrome (AMS) as a post-infectious manifestation following a mild COVID-19 infection. Despite the scare prevalence of movement disorders in COVID-19 patients, new cases have been increasingly described during the last year, not only among hospitalized patients, but also in milder cases. Myoclonus and ataxia are the most frequently movement disorders observed in COVID-19 patients [[4]], and recent publications have highlighted the presence of an ataxia-myoclonus syndrome with or without opsoclonus as a common neurological complication resulting from a likely autoimmune etiology. Axial and appendicular ataxia and myoclonus were seen in all patients and were the reason for their hospital admission.
