Abstract
Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV- 2) emerged in December 2019. Beside respiratory insufficiency, neurological complications have been observed with COVID-19. Here, we report a case of meningo-encephalitis following Covid-19 infection who decompensated a Neuro-Behçet’s disease. Case Presentation: A 45-year-old-man which is followed for Neuro-Behçet disease, hospitalized in the intensive care unit for altered state of consciousness. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a hyperintense area adjacent to right occipital horn. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed a meningitis with polymorphonuclear (PMN) cell predominance. The nasopharyngeal RTPCR was positive for SARS-CoV-2. The patient was treated with therapeutic anticoagulation, aciclovir and methylprednisolone sodium succinate and made a complete recovery. Conclusion: Our study identified a considerable burden of COVID-19 in patients with chronic neurological disorders.
