A wide range of neurological manifestations have been reported during the COVID-19 pandemic, including a variety of Parkinsonian cases. The association of numerous viruses with the development of persistent or transient Parkinsonism has been well-documented. We observed a patient who developed a levodopa non-responsive Parkinsonian syndrome with dysautonomia during a prolonged stay at home for COVID-19. Although the temporal proximity of the emerging Parkinsonian features with a COVID-19 diagnosis suggested a causal relationship, we considered the possibility of a coincidental occurrence of multiple system atrophy. We discuss the patient's clinical features in relation to the established clinical diagnostic criteria and review differential diagnoses as well as the role of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
