Özet

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a pathogen of atypical pneumonia and can cause various kinds of extrapulmonary manifestations. Central nervous system is the most affected organ during or after the course of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections. Presentation with recurrent seizures, neuropsychiatric symptoms and transient basal ganglia involvement have been rarely described. Here we report a case with recurrent seizures and neuropsychiatric presentation including hallucinations and transient basal ganglia involvement with rapid clinical improvement.
