Abstract

Generalized convulsive status epilepticus (GCSE) is a life-threatening condition characterized by prolonged seizure activity that affects both sides of the brain. Despite its high mortality rate, GCSE is a relatively rare complication of COVID-19 vaccination. In this case report, we presented a 28-year-old male with no known history of neuropsychiatric disorders who developed GCSE following the first dose of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. It is plausible that the COVID-19 vaccine played a role in the development of GCSE in this patient. This case report also provides brief review potential association between COVID-19 vaccination and GCSE. Enhanced post-vaccination monitoring protocols are essential for ensuring the safety of COVID-19 vaccination for patients with underlying medical conditions or those at heightened risk of neurological complications.
