  • Predicting the functional recovery of patients with severe neurological condition due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a challenging task Only limited outcome data are available, the pathophysiology is poorly understood, and the time-course of recovery is still largely unknown Here, we report the case of a patient with COVID-19 associated encephalitis presenting as a prolonged state of unresponsiveness for two months, who finally fully recovered consciousness, functional communication, and autonomy after immunotherapy In a multimodal approach, a high-density resting state EEG revealed a rich brain activity in spite of a severe clinical presentation Using our previously validated algorithms, we could predict a possible improvement of consciousness in this patient This case report illustrates the value of a multimodal approach capitalizing on advanced brain-imaging and bedside electrophysiology techniques to improve prognosis accuracy in this complex and new aetiology
