Abstract
Coronaviruses primarily cause respiratory disease; however, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and newly identified SARS-CoV-2 have been associated with a range of disorders of the peripheral and central nervous system (CNS).1-9 Early reports from Wuhan, China, described a spectrum of neurologic conditions associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in 36% of 214 adults hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).10 Reported neurologic and psychiatric symptoms in adult patients with COVID-19 include anosmia/ageusia,11,12 headaches,13 dizziness/ataxia,10 psychosis, dementia, depression, anxiety, and mania.14 Quiz Ref ID Reported severe neurologic involvement in adult patients with COVID-19 includes acute encephalopathy or encephalitis,15-18 acute necrotizing encephalopathy,19,20 epilepsy/seizures,21,22 acute transverse myelitis,23-25 Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS),26,27 posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome,28 and acute ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.14,29-34Keywords
