Abstract

We present a case of a 14-year-old, previously healthy female, admitted with acute coronavirus disease 2019 infection and new-onset seizures secondary to virus-associated necrotizing disseminated acute leukoencephalopathy. Her symptoms resolved completely with intravenous immunoglobulin and steroids. Pathophysiology and prognosis of neurologic manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 remain unclear.
