Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 symptoms are not limited to the respiratory tract, but complications have been described involving other organs including brain. At present, data on SARS-CoV-2 neuropathological features are limited [4, 5, 8, 10] and most frequently focused on cases presenting neurological symptoms.
