Abstract
The new coronavirus infection associated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus has become one of the global medical and social problems of the 21st century. The SARS-CoV-2 virus, first discovered in 2019, differs from other Coronaviridae viruses SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV in increased contagiousness and spread rate. One of the pathogenetic targets of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the human nervous system, the damage to which is often secondary and occurs due to direct viral exposure, parainfective and immune-mediated mechanisms of systemic inflammation. The development of encephalitis and meningoencephalitis is considered a rare complication of COVID-19 infection and there are only isolated clinical cases reported of damage to the nervous system against the background of the new coronavirus infection in adults and children. The article describes a clinical case of a child with the development of persistent severe neurological disorders in the form of central tetraparesis and structural epilepsy on the background of multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19.
