Introduction. Few studies have investigated seizure prevalence and characteristics as the main symptom in children with COVID-19. The rate reported varies between 1.0 and 14.6%. The aim. To study the frequency of neurological complications in children with SARS-CoV-2 infection, and to determine the type and frequency of epileptic seizures. Material and Methods. We carried out a systematic retrospective study by analyzing the medical records of children (aged 4 months to 15 years) at the Institute of Mother and Child and the Infectious Diseases COVID-19 department from August 01, 2022, to March 01, 2023. We divided convulsive seizures into febrile and non-febrile. Results of clinical and paraclinical examinations were extracted from electronic medical records. Statistical methods used: t-student test and 95CI confidence coefficient. Results. Out of the 521 children confirmed with SARS-CoV-2 infection, 56 cases (10.7%; 95 CI 12.06-9.34) presented specific neurological complications, of which 8 (14.3%; 95 CI 18, 98-9.62) – seizures: febrile seizures at the onset of the disease – 3 (5.4%; 95CI 8.41-2.39); 5 (8.9%; 95CI 12.71-5.09), in children with pre-existing neurological disease (malformations of the central nervous system, periventricular leukomalacia, epilepsy, cerebral hypoxia, etc.). One child developed convulsive status epilepticus. In seven out of eight cases, the seizures were tonic-clonic, and in one case – focal tonic seizure. Most patients suffered from a non-severe form of COVID-19. Conclusions. Epileptic seizures may be the first manifestation of COVID-19 in children, they are often tonicclonic and can develop status epilepticus. We suggest testing the children presenting with new febrile seizures or exacerbation of previous epilepsy to recognize SARS-CoV-2 infection.
