About a third (30%) of the survey respondents reported a suspected cause for new onset seizures in COVID-19 patients. Most often the mechanism thought to be responsible for the seizures was lowered seizure threshold with preexisting risk factors. Some respondents suspected viral invasion of the central nervous system (CNS) and injury from SARS-CoV-2. Rarely, seizures were attributed to cardiac arrest or stroke that occurred during the illness. Most survey respondents (63%) indicated that the new-onset seizures were mostly focal-onset with or without evolution to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures. Other respondents identified seizures as generalized, electrographic only or unclassifiable almost equally.
