Sumario:The COVID-19 pandemic that swept the world at the beginning of 2020 is still raging. It is well established that in addition to respiratory symptoms, COVID-19 can also have neurological manifestations that may result from direct or indirect neurological damage. But are these neurological manifestations coincidental or causal? From a neurological perspective, these symptoms could be the result of neurological damage following SARS-CoV-2 infection, or they could be coincidental, from causes such as secondary systemic complications or side effects of drug treatment. The aim of this review is to raise clinician’s awareness to the development of neurological impairment in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients in the current normative prevention and control.
