Rehabilitation of peripheral facial palsy associated with COVID-19 in a child: A case report

Eduardo Freitas Ferreira et al.

Summary: COVID-19 is associated with various neurological manifestations, including facial palsy. Although PFP is a manifestation of COVID-19, we still have limited understanding of its pathogenic mechanisms. This report presents a case of facial palsy in a child infected with SARS-Cov-2, emphasizing the importance of excluding COVID-19 infection and initiating early rehabilitation treatment with close follow-up.

Worldwide epidemiology of neuro-coronavirus disease in children: lessons for the next pandemic

Alicia M. Alcamo et al.

Summary: Global research platforms are needed for investigating the neurological manifestations of different pediatric phenotypes of SARS-CoV-2, with studies showing common symptoms like smell/taste disorders and headache in hospitalized adults and children. Lack of pediatric-informed case definitions, common data elements, and resources hinders the understanding and management of neurological manifestations in children. Coordinated multinational investigation is critical for identifying global and region-specific risk factors and developing treatment strategies for current and future neurological emergencies.

Neurological issues in children with COVID-19

Jieru E. Lin et al.

Summary: COVID-19 typically causes mild infection in children, but serious complications such as neurological symptoms can occur, varying in presentation depending on age and underlying conditions. The review provides an overview of neurological conditions associated with COVID-19 in children and discusses potential mechanisms and long-term implications based on literature reviews and primary data collected at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital.

Summary: This study described neurologic manifestations associated with COVID-19 in children, ranging from mild symptoms like headache and muscle weakness to severe conditions including status epilepticus and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Neurologic symptoms generally resolved as systemic presentation improved, highlighting the need for further research on the specific causality of nervous system involvement in pediatric population.

Seizures as the main presenting manifestation of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection in children

Mohammad Kurd et al.

Summary: Seizures can be a prominent symptom of acute COVID-19 in children, occurring early and sometimes without fever. Despite this, most children with seizures had full recovery, even those with no history of epilepsy. A high level of suspicion is necessary for early diagnosis and implementation of infection control measures.

Summary: This study included patients with clinically diagnosed or laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 at 28 centers across 13 countries and 4 continents from March 1 to September 30, 2020. Neurological manifestations were prevalent among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and were associated with higher in-hospital mortality. Patients with preexisting neurological disorders were at increased risk of developing neurological signs and/or syndromes in COVID-19.

Summary: Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, there have been numerous studies focusing on the epidemiological aspects of COVID-19, with recent emphasis on the virus's impact on the nervous system in addition to respiratory complications. While neurologic manifestations such as cerebrovascular insults, encephalitis, and neuromuscular disorders have been observed in adult patients, it remains unclear if similar effects are present in the pediatric population.
