Neurological manifestations of COVID-19 a clinical approach

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute emerging infectious disease which attacks the respiratory tract caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and has been declared as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The disease has a very wide clinical spectrum which can be manifested as asymptomatic to critical conditions. SARS-CoV-2 shows a neurotropism proven by its identification in the cerebrospinal fluid and brain vascular endothelial. The complete mechanism of how the virus invades the human nervous system is yet to be identified. Thus, every neurologist needs to follow the progressivity of COVID-19 symptoms involving the nervous system. Keywords: COVID-19, neurological manifestations, SARS-CoV-2
