Abstract :
Background: There are very few reports about the neurological complications of COVID-
19. We describe two COVID-19 patients with neurologic presentations.
Case Presentation: Herein we present neurological manifestations in 2 hospitalized patients
with COVID-19. The patients showed most common symptoms of COVID-19 along with
common conflicts in CT scans of lung such as ground-glass opacities (GGOs). First case
revealed two episodes of generalized tonic–clonic seizures; brain CT scan in second patients
revealed an extensive hypodense lesion in the left cerebellar hemisphere. All cases received
supportive care, antibiotics, and antiviral medications. All cases were discharged with a
good general condition.
Conclusion: The current case series report the association between neurological
involvements and COVID-19. Clinicians should be aware of neurologic symptoms in the
setting of COVID-19, which might even be the first presentations of this infection.
