A 17 year old man with a history of JME and learning disability developed fatigue and right-sided numbness and weakness one month after an asymptomatic COVID infection. In the ED, he was agitated, requiring sedation. MRI brain demonstrated large, nodular, incomplete ring enhancing supratentorial white matter lesions and he was treated with IVIG and steroids with an oral taper. He returned to school, but was re-hospitalized due to bizarre behavior. |
