De Novo Status Epilepticus in patients with COVID-19.
Neurological complications are increasingly recognized with SARS-CoV-2, the causative pathogen for COVID-19. We present a single-center retrospective case series reporting the EEG and outcome of de novo status epilepticus (SE) in two African-American women with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 virus. SE was the initial presentation in one asymptomatic individual. Patient 2 had COVID-19 pneumonia, and fluctuating mental status that raised the suspicion of subclinical SE. The patient with older age and higher comorbidities failed to recover from the viral illness that has no definitive treatment.

Evolution and resolution of brain involvement associated with SARS- CoV2 infection: A close Clinical - Paraclinical follow up study of a case.
The new severe acute respiratory syndrome- coronavirus 2 is reported to affect the nervous system. Among the reports of the various neurological manifestations, there are a few documented specific processes to explain the neurological signs. We report a para-infectious encephalitis patient with clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings during evolution and convalescence phase of coronavirus infection. This comprehensive overview can illuminate the natural history of similar cases. As the two previously reported cases of encephalitis associated with this virus were not widely discussed regarding the treatment, we share our successful approach and add some recommendations about this new and scarce entity. Topics: Adult; Anti-Bacterial Agents; Anticonvulsants; Atazanavir Sulfate; Betacoronavirus; Brain; Consciousness Disorders; Coronavirus Infections; COVID-19; Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Disease Progression; Encephalitis; Female; Glucocorticoids; HIV Protease Inhibitors; Humans; Hydroxychloroquine; Immunoglobulins, Intravenous; Immunologic Factors; Intensive Care Units; Levetiracetam; Lung; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Methylprednisolone; Pandemics; Pneumonia, Viral; Pons; Respiration, Artificial; SARS-CoV-2; Seizures; Temporal Lobe; Thalamus; Tomography, X-Ray Computed | 2020 |
