CONCLUSION: The patient underwent further workup and treatment with intravenous corticosteroids with improvement of symptoms and a discharge diagnosis of ATM secondary to SARS-CoV-2. 11 Additionally, the first case report of acute infectious myelitis associated with concurrent SARS-CoV-2 was only recently described. Our patient met the inclusion criteria for diagnosis of ATM based on bilateral motor symptoms and autonomic dysfunction with bladder incontinence along with evidence of CSF lymphocytic pleocytosis and characteristic MRI findings while ruling out other infectious, autoimmune, and connective tissue etiologies. ./cache/cord-265191-unk6rt7u.txt ./txt/cord-265191-unk6rt7u.txt
