ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds worldwide, different forms of reports have described its neurologic manifestations.

OBJECTIVE:

To review the literature on neurological complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

METHODS:

Literature search performed following systematic reviews guidelines, using specific keywords based on the COVID-19 neurological complications described up to May 10th, 2020.

RESULTS:

A total of 43 articles were selected, including data ranging from common, non-specific symptoms, such as hyposmia and myalgia, to more complex and life-threatening conditions, such as cerebrovascular diseases, encephalopathies, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.

CONCLUSION:

Recognition of neurological manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 should be emphasized despite the obvious challenges faced by clinicians caring for critical patients who are often sedated and presenting other concurrent systemic complications.
