RESUMEN
Resumen La enfermedad por coronavirus ha extendido su compromiso más allá del sistema respiratorio con reportes crecientes de compromiso en diferentes sistemas, uno de ellos, el Sistema Nervioso. El potencial neuroinvasivo de este agente patógeno se explicaría por su neurotropismo dada la presencia de receptores de ACE2 a nivel de encéfalo y médula espinal, además del importante com promiso inflamatorio sistémico. El compromiso neurológico debido a la infección se ha dividido en Sistema Nervioso Central, destacando síntomas inespecíficos y leves como mareos y cefalea, así como cuadros graves con encefalitis y patología cerebrovascular, y Sistema Nervioso Periférico en donde la mayor relevancia guarda relación con la anosmia, ageusia y miositis. A nivel pediátrico el compromiso parece ser menor que en adultos, pero existe un reporte creciente en la literatura respecto a estos hallazgos. Es de gran importancia de contar con un adecuado registro y anamnesis que permita identificar precozmente el compromiso neurológico.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Coronavirus disease has extended its involvement beyond the respiratory system, with increasing reports of involving different systems, such as Nervous System. The neuroinvasive potential of this pathogen would be explained by its neurotropism given the presence of ACE2 receptors in the brain and spinal cord, in addition to the important systemic inflammatory involvement. The neu rological involvement due to infection is divided between the central nervous system, highlighting non-specific and mild symptoms such as dizziness and headache, as well as severe symptoms with encephalitis and cerebrovascular pathology, and the peripheral nervous system, which mainly pre sents anosmia, ageusia, and myositis. Clinical symptomatology in pediatric patients seems to be less than in adults, but there is a growing report in the literature regarding these findings. There fore, it is very important to have an adequate registry and anamnesis that allow early identification of neurological involvement.
