Movement Disorders in COVID-19: Whither Art Thou?	2020-08-12		.txt	text/plain	1662	86	37	The paucity of movement disorders associated with COVID-19 is particularly striking when contrasted with the neurologic syndrome which affected over a million people worldwide in the aftermath of the 1918 "Spanish" influenza, termed by Constanin von Economo encephalitis lethargica. That encephalitis was associated with a wide range of movement disorders, of which post-encephalitic parkinsonism is the best known, although other manifestations in the acute phase included dystonia, tremor, chorea, myoclonus, and oculomasticatory myorhythmia [6, 7] . Although encephalitis has been described as a cardinal neurological manifestation of COVID-19 during the acute phase of illness [8, 9] , we have yet to encounter any of these associated movement disorder presentations. (In the time since this write-up was first prepared, patients with acute movement disorders and COVID-19 have been reported exiguously; we know of four such reports, which describe myoclonus [10, 11] , a hypokinetic-rigid syndrome [12] , and tremor/ataxia [13] .	./cache/cord-320535-fo4lzcav.txt	./txt/cord-320535-fo4lzcav.txt
