Case Report on COVID-19-Induced Neurological Symptoms

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by a novel coronavirus strain, is primarily known for its respiratory manifestations. However, increasing evidence points to its potential neuroinvasive properties, leading to a spectrum of neurological complications. This may be attributed to the structural similarities between SARS-CoV-2 and its predecessor, SARS-CoV. We report the case of an 73-year-old male with underlying chronic systolic heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension, who developed new-onset seizures in the setting of COVID-19. Notably, the patient had no prior history of epilepsy. This case underscores the importance of recognizing and managing neurological symptoms in patients with COVID-19, particularly in elderly individuals with pre-existing comorbidities.
