Abstract
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) predominantly affects the respiratory system. However, COVID-19 associated Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a state of hyper inflammatory shock affecting the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hematologic and central nervous system. Isolated neurological manifestations have rarely been reported, especially in children and adolescents. We describe a 17-year-old boy presenting with intermittent headaches, altered mental status and right sided weakness, was found to be positive for SARS-COV2 from nasopharyngeal sampling. His neurological symptoms lasted for three weeks and subsequently improved spontaneously. Keywords: SARS-CoV2; Encephalitis; Headaches.
