Young Female COVID-19 Patient Presenting with Epileptic Seizure

COVID-19 is a new type of coronavirus infection with a wide clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic to severely symptomatic, and that mostly affects the respiratory tract. Although the respiratory tract is the primary area affected by the disease, neurological symptoms such as headache, dizziness and muscle ache have also been reported in some patients since the early stages of the pandemic. COVID-19 symptoms and complications can affect the peripheral and central nervous systems as well as the skeletal muscles, while epileptic seizure is a rare manifestation of COVID-19. We present here the case of a female patient admitted to hospital with epileptic seizure due to COVID-19 encephalopathy.
