Complications related to COVID-19 infection in neurological diseases

Abstract

Neurological signs and symptoms constitute at least 35% of the findings reported from the beginning of the coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) epidemic until now. Neurological symptoms based on myopathy,headache,taste and smell disorders,dizziness, impaired consciousness, encephalitis, and peripheral nervous system disorders such as Guillain-Barré and Miller Fisher syndromes, have been described. We aimed to provide information on how COVID-19 infection affects neurological system and possible damage mechanisms.This review has been prepared by scanning severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), COVID-19, coronavirus, neurological symptoms, results, pandemic keyword combinations in the database. In the literature review, a total of 57 articles, including case series, case report, letter, article and review, were reached on the neurological disorders associated with COVID-19 in the last two years.If the patient is older, the COVID-19 infection may be more severe. Hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases also make more challenging the clinical cases. In addition, patients with a history of neurological disorders and acute respiratory symptoms appear to be at higher risk of encephalopathy.
