Sumario:Albeit primarily a disease of respiratory tract, the 2019 coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) has been found to have causal association with a plethora of neurological and neuropsychological effects. However, the pathogenesis of COVID-19-induced neurological manifestations is still in its infancy. Autonomic dysfunction preceding acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) has not been yet associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We herein report one patient who developed acute onset dysautonomia heralding AMAN during SARS-CoV-2 infection.
