Öz

Coronavirus pandemic has become one of the most important illness affecting all over the world and causing the death of millions of people. Because it started at the end of 2019 it named as coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which is a new disease definition, that has emerged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it is known that MIS-C causes many different symptoms, our knowledge will increase exponentially as more articles and case reports continue to published to the literature. Although MIS-C affects many systems, various neurological involvement has also been reported. But, according to literature, no case with hemiparesis in MIS-C has been reported so far. To the best of our knowledge this is the case presenting with hemiparesis without intracranial pathology in the diagnosis of MIS-C.

Nadir Bir Nörolojik Bulgu Olarak Akut Hemiparezi ile Başvuran Çocukta Multisistem İnflamatuar Sendrom

Öz

Koronavirüs pandemisi tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan ve milyonlarca insanın ölümüne neden olan en önemli hastalıklardan biri haline geldi. 2019 yılının sonunda başladığı için koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) olarak adlandırılmıştır. COVID-19 pandemisi sonucu ortaya çıkan, yeni bir hastalık tanımı olan çocuklarda multisistem inflamatuar sendrom (MIS-C). MIS-C'nin birçok farklı semptoma neden olduğu bilinmesine rağmen, literatürde daha fazla makale ve vaka sunumu yayınlandıkça bilgimiz katlanarak artacaktır. MIS-C birçok sistemi etkilemekle birlikte çeşitli nörolojik tutulumlar da bildirilmiştir. Ancak literatüre göre şimdiye kadar MIS-C'de hemiparezisi olan bir olgu bildirilmemiştir. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla MIS-C tanısında intrakraniyal patoloji olmaksızın hemiparezi ile başvuran nadir bir olgudur.
