Abstract
ntroduction
Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to grow all over the world. Several studies have
been performed, focusing on understanding the acute respiratory syndrome and treatment strategies.
However, there is growing evidence indicating neurological manifestations occur in patients with COVID19. Similarly, the other coronaviruses (CoV) epidemics; severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-1)
and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) have been associated with neurological
complications.
Methods
This systematic review serves to summarize available information regarding the potential effects of
different types of CoV on the nervous system and describes the range of clinical neurological
complications that have been reported thus far in COVID-19.
Results Two hundred and twenty-five studies on CoV infections associated neurological manifestations in
human were reviewed. Of those, 208 articles were pertinent to COVID-19. The most common
neurological complaints in COVID-19 were anosmia, ageusia, and headache, but more serious
complications, such as stroke, impairment of consciousness, seizures, and encephalopathy, have also
been reported.
Conclusion
There are several similarities between neurological complications after SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV and
COVID-19, however, the scope of the epidemics and number of patients are very different. Reports on
the neurological complications after and during COVID-19 are growing on a daily basis. Accordingly,
comprehensive knowledge of these complications will help health care providers to be attentive to
these complications and diagnose and treat them timely.
