Abstract

In December 2019, the outbreak of coronavirus started in China, and after a while, it spread worldwide. These diseases can appear with respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms in pediatrics, but neurological symptoms like seizures are uncommon. Furthermore, there is no specific data about the nervous system manifestation in children. This case series study is aimed to diagnose COVID-19 in children with nervous system manifestation. Seizures in the context of coronavirus infection are likely to be more severe and are life threatening in children predicting poor prognosis.
