摘要
Chorea, hemichorea, and other movement disorders have been reported after different pandemics since Constantin von Economo's time. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, numerous delayed neurological manifestations have been reported in the postinfectious or postvaccination periods. However, very few of these are movement disorders in nature; there are even fewer voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC) antibody-related movement disorder cases in the literature. We encountered three patients with some COVID-19-related issues featuring both chorea and VGKC antibody. Modern medical science and technology may be able to further our understanding of the molecular basis of von Economo disease and reveal a possible link to COVID-19 along with the immunomodulation aspect of its treatment.
