Description of three cases of 4–7-year-old male children presenting with a seizure without a prior history of epilepsy, 2–4 weeks after recovering from COVID-19.All three children were admitted to the pediatric department at Laniado Hospital in Netanya, Israel, and presented with seizures without fever.We found common characteristics among the children that can imply a predisposition for neurological complications of Covid-19.
