Similarly to other Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 can attack the olfactory bulb and then affect the central nervous system (CNS) through the olfactory tract in the early stages of infection [5] . Neurological impairment and demyelinating reaction appear as complications in case of severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) [10] . Our patient showed symptoms consistent with a neurological involvement consequent to SARS-CoV-2 infection. In SARS-CoV-2 infection, neurological impairment was observed only in case of severe COVID-19 [10] . SARS-CoV-2 was not detected in the CSF probably because the neurological damage was sustained by a delayed immune response that occurred after the viremia. Sudden neurological impairment with seizures in COVID-19 patients may be sustained by CNS involvement and demyelinating lesions.
