We discuss two recent cases from our hospital in which two patients with ESKD receiving periodical hemodialysis (HD) and SarS-Cov-2 infection suffered movement disorders, being the onset related to the HD sessions in both. First case is a 78 year-old woman who is admitted with generalized myoclonic status epilepticus and second case is a 46 year-old male who starts repeatedly suffering myoclonus during his hemodialysis sessions on day +10 after testing positive (asymptomatic infection). There are two main hypotheses when it comes to myoclonus and CNS disorders in COVID19, post-hypoxic origin and inmunomediated postinfectious origin. We wonder if they could both be interacting in patients with kidney disease, and especially in those who receive hemodialysis, maximizing the risk of suffering this type of disorders.

Ceftriaxone is widely used clinically but it can potentially cause ceftriaxone encephalopathy in individuals who are on dialysis. We describe ceftriaxone encephalopathy in a dialysis patient. The 87-year-old Japanese woman had a 9-year dialysis history.

Background: Consultation-liaison (CL) psychiatrists are frequently asked to consult on various abnormal movements (1). CL psychiatrists can be instrumental in aiding the primary teams to identify and manage these movement disorders. In this manuscript, we provide an illustrative case of a patient presenting with myoclonus and offer a review on this important topic.

Neurotoxicity associated with cephalosporins is an increasingly recognized complication, although among cephalosporins, ceftazidime is rarely reported for such an adverse reaction. Moreover, subacute, rather than acute, presentation of neurotoxicity associated with cephalosporins is rare. A 77-year-old female patient with stage 4 chronic renal disease was admitted due to cellulitis in her right lower limb, multiorgan dysfunction complicated by oliguric acute kidney injury, and a need for hemodialysis via a central venous catheter.

Chorea is a disorder characterized by irregular, involuntary movements affecting the limbs, trunk, neck, or face. It can be a significant symptom in various neurologic diseases, including metabolic, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative conditions. The neural foundation that underlies the genesis of chorea appears to be fairly diverse, even though its pathophysiology is frequently associated with the malfunctioning of inhibitory circuits within the basal ganglia.
