Sumario:In December 2019, the novel coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), emerged in China and quickly spread to other countries. COVID-19 infection can present in a variety of ways, ranging from mild upper respiratory illness with no symptoms to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome with multiorgan involvement and death. With increasing frequency, new associations and clinical complications, such as thrombotic states, mucormycosis, and others have been reported. Neurological complications can occur during infection, during the immediate recovery period, or as late sequel of infection in COVID-19. We present an intriguing case series of neurological complications following COVID-19 pneumonia.
