The new severe acute respiratory syndrome- coronavirus 2 is reported to affect the nervous system. Among the reports of the various neurological manifestations, there are a few documented specific processes to explain the neurological signs. We report a para-infectious encephalitis patient with clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings during evolution and convalescence phase of coronavirus infection. This comprehensive overview can illuminate the natural history of similar cases. As the two previously reported cases of encephalitis associated with this virus were not widely discussed regarding the treatment, we share our successful approach and add some recommendations about this new and scarce entity.
据报道,新型严重急性呼吸综合征-冠状病毒 2 会影响神经系统。在各种神经表现的报告中,有一些记录的特定过程可以解释神经症状。我们报告了一例感染冠状病毒时出现临床、实验室和影像学表现的感染后自身免疫性脑炎患者。本综述可以阐明类似病例的自然病史。由于之前报道的两例与该病毒相关的脑炎病例未广泛讨论治疗方法,我们分享了我们成功的方法,并就这一新出现的罕见实体提出了一些建议。
