MR imaging findings in a neonate with COVID -19 associated encephalitis

COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc in many parts of the globe. Children with COVID-19 are generally asymptomatic or have milder symptoms compared to adults. Neurological symptoms and neuroimaging abnormalities in children with COVID-19 disease are frequently due to parainfectious immune mediated phenomena or thromboembolic disease and include acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), autoimmune encephalitis, Guillian-Barre syndrome, acute flaccid paralysis, myelitis, cranial nerve enhancement, vascular territory infarcts and microhemorrhages (1, 2).
