Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in December 2019 and has affected millions. Many patients who have had coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection develop acute and chronic medical illnesses which can impact every organ system. Those who develop new-onset neurological disorders during the acute phase will often experience long-lasting complications. Although the specific cause is unclear, many mechanisms have been cited, including a direct impact from the virus itself and indirect impacts from inflammation, hypoxia, and hypercoagulability. We present a case of an adult with no neurological or psychiatric history who developed a series of neurological issues ending in the development of Tourette Syndrome (TS) after a COVID-19 infection. The patient has continued to display the symptoms of Tourette Syndrome but has improved with the current treatments available for Tourette Syndrome.
