“…A total of eight patients (four women and four men, aged 36-77 years, mean 61) with COVID-19 [60][61][62][63][64][65][66] and an additional seven patients as an adverse event after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 [67][68][69][70][71] (six men and one woman aged 13-90) have been reported to develop chorea (Tab. 2).…”

The aim of this review was to summarise current knowledge regarding hyperkinetic movement disorders related to SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination in terms of phenomenology, epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment. After a thorough review of the PubMed and Google Scholar databases (2020-2022), we identified myoclonus and ataxia sometimes accompanied by opsoclonus (AMS) as the two most frequent COVID-19 sequelae, with chorea, tremor and dystonia being very rare. The pathogenesis seems to be variable, but in the majority of AMS cases it was autoimmunological, with good response and recovery after corticosteroids or intravenous immunoglobulins infusions. Vaccination may be complicated by hyperkinetic movement disorders (e.g. tremor, dystonia), but this is very rare. Patients with Deep Brain Simulation depletion should not be postponed due to lockdowns as this may result in fatal outcomes.

Although the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) primarily involves the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, neurological manifestations, including movement disorders such as myoclonus and cerebellar ataxia, have also been reported. However, the occurrence of post-SARS-CoV-2 chorea is rare. Herein, we describe a 91-year-old female with a past medical history of hypothyroidism who developed chorea after two weeks of contracting a mild coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
