| description | Background: SARS-CoV-2 new infectious disease was first reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Thereafter, it has extensively spread causing global pandemic. It was named as corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by WHO in February 2020. Other than the well described COVID-19 respiratory and cardiac manifestations, the neurological manifestations are not that uncommon.
Objectives: In this review, we are trying to shed light on this pandemic disease and its neurological presentation, which might enable neurologists to pick up and promptly deal with such cases. The COVID-19 neurological presentation can include many diverse symptoms and rapid clinical deterioration can be related to development of neurological affection. Moreover, the patients with already neurological diseases, when affected by the COVID-19 showed worse prognosis.
Conclusion: Enhanced research is needed to illustrate and explain and hence development and tailoring adjusted treatment for the neurological manifestation for better management of such cases to improve the outcome. |
