“… 4 - 6 Several recent studies have reported neurological complications associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, including encephalitis, acute cerebrovascular accidents, ataxia, decreased LOC, seizures, and Guillain-Barre syndrome. 2 , 7 - 10 Mao et al 7 found that 36.4% of SARS-CoV-2-infected patients had neurological manifestation.…”

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has very rapidly become a global pandemic with millions of confirmed cases worldwide. In early 2021, viral encephalitis was the first neurological complication associated with COVID-19 and since then rise in cases has been reported with this association. A review highlighting 3 potential mechanisms linking a correlation between seizures and COVID-19 was previously reported. Herein described is a unique case of SARS-CoV2 infection that presented with focal seizure with impaired awareness.

SARS-CoV-2 infection frequently causes neurological impairment in both adults and children. Recent publications have described significant aspects of the viral pathophysiology associated with neurological dysfunction. In theory, neurological manifestations following SARS-CoV-2 infection may be caused directly by the effects of the virus infecting the brain or indirectly by the local and systemic immune responses against the virus. Neurological manifestations can occur during the acute phase as well as in the post-acute phase of the infection. In this review, we discuss recent literature describing the association of nervous system disorders with COVID-19.

“…In this cohort, seizures frequently accompanied acute stroke or encephalitis. Data from the Registry of the Spanish Neurological Society suggest that most seizure episodes develop in the absence of pre-existent epilepsy [ 26 ]. Seizure activity in these patients is closely correlated with electroencephalographic abnormalities.…”

“…Santos et al reported electrographic seizures in 9.4% of patients admitted with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, focal interictal epileptiform discharges in 18.8% of patients, and interictal continuum patterns in 25% of cases [ 27 ]. Clinical epileptic features include, in order of decreasing frequency, generalized tonic–clonic seizures, focal impaired-awareness seizures, status epilepticus, and secondary generalized seizures [ 26 ].…”

Neurological Manifestations of SARS-CoV2 Infection: A Narrative Review

The COVID-19 virus frequently causes neurological complications. These have been described in various forms in adults and children. Headache, seizures, coma, and encephalitis are some of the manifestations of SARS-CoV-2-induced neurological impairment. Recent publications have revealed important aspects of viral pathophysiology and its involvement in nervous-system impairment in humans. We evaluated the latest literature describing the relationship between COVID-19 infection and the central nervous system. We searched three databases for observational and interventional studies in adults published between December 2019 and September 2022. We discussed in narrative form the neurological impairment associated with COVID-19, including clinical signs and symptoms, imaging abnormalities, and the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV2-induced neurological damage.
