Abstrakt: | There have been a growing number of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis cases following coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) infection. Given the rare occurrence, studies eliciting the clinical features, treatment response, and outcomes are still limited. In patients recovering from COVID-19, multifocal neurologic symptoms in the presence or absence of encephalopathy must be closely evaluated by neurologists and physicians. Early radiographic evaluation using magnetic resonance imaging and timely administration of glucocorticoid-based treatment reduces mortality and leads to satisfactory outcomes.
