Neurological Manifestations of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children

ABSTRACT

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) associated with COVID-19 first reported from South East London has a wide spectrum of neurological signs and symptoms including headache, impaired consciousness, aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, seizure, ataxia, and stroke. It is important to diagnose these patients as soon as possible and treat them with a multidisciplinary ap-proach. A few studies have reported post-discharge follow-up data in MIS-C patients with neurological symptoms most of whom showed neurological improvement. Long-term follow-up of MIS-C patients is required to determine possible neurological sequelae. Copyright © 2022 Ankara Pediatric Hematology Oncology Training and Research Hospital.
