ABSTRACT
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was first discovered in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic has become a serious challenge for all humanity. Although most patients develop respiratory symptoms, the neurological manifestations due to central and peripheral nervous system involvement are quite common. Objective of the review. To analyze and systematize current data on the COVID-19 effect on the central and peripheral nervous system. Material and methods. The material for the study was more than 70 papers published between 2019—2022 and indexed in the international databases Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed. Results. Analysis of the relevant literature on the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and some neurological complications was performed. It was observed that in addition to the respiratory system, SARS-CoV-2 affects the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system, and the muscular system, resulting in neurological disorders. Understanding the pathogenesis of nervous system damage contributes to improved diagnosis of neurological complications. In general, according to the literature, patients with severe new coronavirus infection are prone to neurological complications. Conclusion. Since most studies currently focus on respiratory symptoms, the prevalence of neurological effects of COVID-19 may be underestimated. A detailed analysis of the mechanisms of both central and peripheral nervous system damage is needed.
