Summary

This review details the neurological complications of COVID-19, including common symptoms, treatments, and long-term effects. It explores the mechanisms behind these neurological issues in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Infectious Diseases
Public Health

Background:

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a global pandemic.
COVID-19 presents with a wide range of symptoms, from asymptomatic to severe illness.
Neurological symptoms are frequently observed in COVID-19 patients.

Purpose of the Study:

To comprehensively review neurological complications associated with COVID-19.
To summarize neurological side effects of COVID-19 treatments.
To discuss post-acute and long-term neurological sequelae of COVID-19.

Main Methods:

Comprehensive literature review.
Analysis of reported neurological case studies.
Discussion of proposed pathogenetic mechanisms.

Main Results:

Common neurological symptoms include headache, altered mental status, anosmia, and myalgia.
Neurological complications and treatment side effects are significant concerns.
Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome and long-term neurological deficits are increasingly recognized.

Conclusions:

COVID-19 poses a significant threat of neurological complications.
Understanding the pathogenesis is crucial for managing neurological sequelae.
Further research is needed to address long-term neurological impacts.
