Abstract
- The coronavirus pandemic has emerged as one of the most significant global health crises, affecting people worldwide and resulting in the loss of millions of lives. It was officially named "Coronavirus disease 2019" (COVID-19) when it first appeared at the end of 2019. Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a relatively new disease entity that has arisen in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While MIS-C is recognized to manifest with various symptoms, our understanding of it continues to evolve as more articles and case reports are published in the scientific literature. Although MIS-C affects multiple organ systems, there have also been reported cases of neurological involvement. According to the literature, cases of hemiparesis without imaging findings in MIS-C have rarely been reported. To the best of our knowledge, this is a rare reported case of hemiparesis without intracranial and spinal pathology in the context of MIS-C reported in this article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
