Summary:Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) can be associated with wide-range neurologic symptoms and complications. Parainfectious manifestations that are seen during the active infection period include stroke, olfactory and taste disturbance, encephalopathy, encephalitis, neuropathies, and myopathies. The main postinfectious complications are acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, cognitive disorders, and sleep disorders.
