Year: 2021
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: The Sars-CoV-2 virus has been responsible for countless deaths and sequelae around the world.In view of this new virus, complications in several systems were noticed, mainly the involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) by the virus, especially in the pediatric population.In our study, we report a case of an infant who presented an episode of seizure and neurological symptoms after infection with COVID-19.On admission, radiological and laboratory investigations were carried out, which showed the presence of extra-axial blood collection in an inflammatory environment.The infant remained hospitalized and, after stabilization, was discharged.At follow-up, in a control imaging exam, there was complete resorption of the cyst without residual neurological signs.The present report sets precedents for the importance of neurological investigation in patients with Sars-CoV-2, as several studies have demonstrated its tropism for the CNS and still few reports describing its possible complications in children and adolescents.
