COVID-19 Patient with Encephalitis as an Initial Clinical Presentation
Öz: A growing number of extrapulmonary manifestations were described during COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has both acute and long-term neurological complications affecting the central and peripheral nervous system. While acute encephalopathy was the most common clinically diagnosed neurological sign, the least common were meningitis and/or encephalitis. The patient was a 68-year- old previously healthy man who presented to the emergency department with symptoms of fever, headache, confusion, meaningless speech, and behavioral disorders. We present a COVID-19 patient with encephalitis as an initial clinical presentation who was treated with dexamethasone, IVIG and tocilizumab with a rapid neurological improvement. This report highlights COVID-19 encephalitis which is a rare form of the neurological involvement of COVID-19 and discusses diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Öz: COVID-19 pandemisi süresince giderek artan sayıda akciğer dışı tutulumlar tanımlanmaktadır. COVID-19’un santral ve periferik sinir sistemini etkilenmesi sonucunda akut ve uzun dönem nörolojik komplikasyonlar gelişebilir. Akut ensefalopati en sık tanı koyulan klinik nörolojik bulgu iken, en nadir görülen, menenjit ve/veya ensefalittir. Altmış sekiz yaşında ek hastalığı olmayan erkek hasta; ateş, baş ağrısı, konfüzyon, anlamsız konuşma ve davranış değişiklikleri ile acil servise başvurmuştur. Deksametazon, intravenöz immünoglobulin (IVIG) ve tosilizumab ile tedavi edilen ve bu tedaviler ile hızlı nörolojik düzelme sağlanan, başlangıç klinik prezentasyonu COVID-19 ilişkili ensefalit olarak değerlendirilen bir vaka sunulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada COVID-19’un nadir nörolojik tutulumu olan COVID-19 ensefaliti ile tanısal ve terapötik yaklaşımlara dikkat çekilmiştir.
