Summary

Electroencephalography (EEG) is valuable for detecting brain alterations in COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms. This study found EEG abnormalities in 85% of confusion cases and 57% of epileptic cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurophysiology

Background:

  • SARS-CoV-2 infection exhibits neurological tropism, potentially leading to encephalopathy.
  • Electroencephalography (EEG) serves as a diagnostic tool, complementing other investigations like lumbar puncture, biology, and imaging for neurological complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze EEG findings in patients with COVID-19 presenting with neurological or general symptoms.
  • To correlate EEG abnormalities with specific clinical manifestations in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 42 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who underwent EEG.
  • Evaluation of EEG abnormalities in relation to clinical signs prompting the examination, such as confusion and epileptic seizures.

Main Results:

  • EEG was altered in 85% of confusion cases and 57% of epileptic symptom cases.
  • Twenty-one percent of EEGs indicated encephalopathy, with specific findings in patients with persistent consciousness alterations, confusion, agitation, or delayed awakening.
  • Common clinical indications for EEG included confusion (64%) and epileptic seizures.

Conclusions:

  • EEG is a valuable tool for assessing cerebral alterations in COVID-19 patients with neurological or general symptoms.
  • The study highlights the utility of EEG in diagnosing and characterizing neurological complications associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
