We describe a cohort of three patients with variable neurological presentations by SARS-COV-2 infection. It includes one case each of acute cerebellitis, acute encephalomyelitis and arterial ischemic stroke. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first pediatric case of acute cerebellitis due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. All critically ill patients were treated with methylprednisolone pulse therapy and dexamethasone. Patient with acute cerebellitis in addition required intravenous immunoglobulin infusion. All the patients responded to the treatment with complete neurological recovery.
我们描述了三例由 SARS-COV-2 感染引起的具有不同神经表现的患者。其中包括急性小脑炎、急性脑脊髓炎和动脉缺血性脑卒中各一例。据我们所知,我们报告了首例因 SARS-CoV-2 感染引起的小儿急性小脑炎。所有重症患者均接受了甲基强的松龙脉冲治疗和地塞米松治疗。急性小脑炎患者还需要静脉注射免疫球蛋白。所有患者均对治疗有反应,神经功能完全恢复。
