A wide spectrum of neurological manifestations in pediatrics patients with the COVID-19 infection: a case series

We reported four pediatric patients with COVID-19 and different neurologic symptoms.Case 1 was a 16-year-old girl with a sensory and motor polyradiculopathy with RT-qPCR for COVID-19 and dengue both detected in CSF that improved after appropriate treatment.Case 2 was a 15-year-old boy with Guillain –Barre syndrome and had good response after using human immunoglobulin.Case 3 was a 5-year-old girl with acute intracranial hypertension that improved after going through lumbar puncture and using acetazolamide.Case 4 was a 2-month-old male infant with focal epileptic seizures that recovered after antiepileptic treatment. We highlight the need to consider different neurologic manifestations as part of the COVID-19 clinical spectrum.
