An update on the neuropsychiatric complications of COVID-19

Summary/Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 is a single-stranded RNA coronavirus predominantly causes a respiratory disease, however increasing evidence has shown that it is also related to several neurological complications. The underlying mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 neurotropic action is not yet clearly understood; however, it is believed that the virus can enter the central nervous system either through the haematogenous route, or through neuronal anterograde dissemination. The main neurological manifestations of patients positive for SARS-CoV-2 can be categorized to parainfectious, post-infectious and cerebrovascular complications. In the present study we describe the main neurological complications as they have been described in the most recent literature.
