With the outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) as a global pandemic, various of its neurological manifestations have been reported. We report a case of a 54-year-old male with new-onset seizure who tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 from a nasopharyngeal swab sample. Investigative findings, which included contrast-enhancing right posterior temporal lobe T2-hyperintensity on brain magnetic resonance imaging, right-sided lateralized periodic discharges on the electroencephalogram, and elevated protein level on cerebrospinal fluid analysis, supported the diagnosis of possible encephalitis from COVID-19 infection. The findings in this case are placed in the context of the existing literature.
随着 COVID-19（2019 年冠状病毒病）的爆发成为全球性大流行，已经报道了其各种神经系统表现。我们报告了一例 54 岁男性新发性癫痫发作的病例，该患者鼻咽拭子样本对严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 检测呈阳性。包括脑磁共振成像上右后侧颞叶 T2 高信号增强、脑电图右侧偏侧周期性放电以及脑脊液分析中蛋白水平升高的检查结果支持 COVID-19 感染引起的可能脑炎的诊断。本病例的发现与现有文献相结合。
