background
One of the clinical presentations of COVID-19 infection in children is seizure. Furthermore, based on other studies during the epidemy of the Omicron variant in Iran and other parts of the world, the incidence of seizure in children increased. Moreover, the distribution of different seizure types remains to be discovered due to the newness of the Omicron variant epidemic and the lack of studies in this field. Understanding the connections between demographic factors and different seizure types is crucial, as managing this disorder varies based on the type of seizure and the individual characteristics of each patient. This study aims to investigate the relationship between age and gender with the type of seizures in children under 18 years of age with the Omicron type of COVID-19.
