AB  - Human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, have the ability for neurotropism. Commonly reported neurologic complications of SARS-CoV-2 infections include encephalopathy, neuromuscular disorders, and acute cerebrovascular disorders. Other complications, such as postinfectious demyelination, encephalitis, and seizures, occur less often, but are probably under-reported given the lack of diagnostic information, such as cerebrospinal fluid sampling and electroencephalogram monitoring. Clinicians should have a high clinical suspicion for associated neurologic complications in a COVID-19–infected patient.
