Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused the most unprecedented health crisis since the 1918 H1N1 pandemic. Whilst COVID-19 is traditionally considered to be a respiratory disease, it is important to understand that this virus has the potential to disseminate throughout the body causing multi-organ failure. Both peripheral and central neurological systems have been shown to be greatly affected. This review aims to look at the available literature published on COVID-19 and summarize the main neurological complications seen so far.
Keywords: brain and spine; coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19); intensive care unit stay; long covid; neuro-immunology; neuroinflammatory; neurological disease; public health care; spike protein and covid-19; stroke and covid-19.
