Abstract
There are various neurological presentations of covid-19 but here we report a 27-year-old female developed first episode of seizure, 14 days after documented SARS-CoV-2 infection. She had generalized tonic-clonic seizure with multiple injuries. She had no previous or family history of seizure but she had generalized anxiety disorder and was doing well on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Electroencephalogram (EEG) showed theta waves background (likely post-ictal discharges). Magnetic resonance Imagining (MRI) Brain showed features of focal cerebritis on both the frontal lobes. She was started with anti-epileptic drug. After 6 weeks, repeat MRI Brain and EEG were completely normal.
