Abstract

Description of three cases of 4-7-year-old male children presenting with a seizure without a prior history of epilepsy, 2-4 weeks after recovering from COVID-19. All three children were admitted to the pediatric department at Laniado Hospital in Netanya, Israel, and presented with seizures without fever. We found common characteristics among the children that can imply a predisposition for neurological complications of Covid-19.

Keywords: COVID-19; Complications; Long COVID; Pediatrics; Seizures.
