As for the occurrence of memory disorders in these patients, data are very scarce in the literature. Case Description: We describe the clinical case of a male adolescent who presented amnesia after infection with SARS CoV-2. The amnesia had a peculiar pattern, not described in the literature. The neurological exam and complementary diagnostic exams showed no changes. The most likely diagnosis was Dissociative Amnesia. The patient was medicated with psychotropic drugs, with remission of symptoms. Discussion: Psychiatric disorders have been associated with COVID-19 infection, as well as with the pandemic state itself. It is assumed that the etiology of amnesia could be multifactorial: due to the direct effect of the virus and due to the negative impact associated with the pandemic. With this case report, we question the role of SARS-CoV-2 infection in mental health.engAdolescent mental health and COVID-19COVID-19 and mental healthMemory disorders and COVID-19Psychiatric disorders and COVID-19SARS-CoV-2 infection.Faculdade de Ciências da VidaA case of amnesia after SARS-CoV-2 infectionjournal article10.25753/BirthGrowthMJ.v34.i3.32005
