Abstract
We describe à case of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis occurring after COVID-19 pneumonia in a 25-year woman. She presented with confusional syndrome and heaviness on the left side. Magnetic Resonance Imaging with gadolinium showed asymmetrical and bilateral hyperintense lesions within the deep white matter. The patient’s clinical symptoms resolved after corticosteroid therapy. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis should be considered in patients with COVID-19 who present with altered mentation and neurological deficits.
