Background. Status Epilepticus (SE) may be a neurological manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children. The exact mechanisms are not specified, but elevated levels of cytokines and hyperactivation of immune cells could lead to secondary nervous system dysfunction and systemic inflammatory syndrome. Objective of the study. Presentation of a case of SE associated with COVID-19 infection in a pediatric patient. Material and Methods. Anamnesis, clinical and paraclinical data were taken from the medical databases. The patient was investigated by electroencephalography (EEG), neurosonography (NSG), brain computed tomography (CT), brain magnetic resonance (MRI). The literature about similar cases has been studied. Results. A 7-month-old child, without anterior comorbidities, was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unite with tonico-clonic seizures, facial asymmetry, lack of motility of the left limbs, low-grade fever, food refusal. The RT-PCR test COVID-19 positive. At EEG - diffused distributed slow delta waves. Brain CT scan - fronto-parietal and periventricular encephalomalacia on the right. Brain MRI - bilateral fronto-parietal cystic encephalomalacia predominantly on right, supratentorial ischemic lesions, diffuse cortical hemorrhagic imbibition on the right, transverse and sigmoid sinus thrombosis on the left. The diagnosis was suggestive for inflammatory and vascular damage to the brain. Conclusion. We suggest that the neurotropic properties of SARS-CoV-2, the inflammatory response and vascular mechanisms are responsible for neurological symptoms. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of initial presentation of neurological symptoms in COVID-19 to avoid missing or delayed diagnosis. |
