Document: COVID-19 has now emerged from a respiratory illness to a systemic viral illness with multisystem involvement. There is still a lot to learn about this illness as new disease associations with COVID-19 emerge consistently.

We highlight the value of considering seizures and encephalopathy as one of the presenting features of COVID-19 disease.
