Neurological signs and symptoms constitute at least 35% of the findings
reported from the beginning of the coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) epidemic
until now. Neurological symptoms based on myopathy,headache,taste and
smell disorders,dizziness, impaired consciousness, encephalitis, and
peripheral nervous system disorders such as Guillain-Barré and Miller
Fisher syndromes, have been described. We aimed to provide information
on how COVID-19 infection affects neurological system and possible
damage mechanisms.This review has been prepared by scanning severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), COVID-19,
coronavirus, neurological symptoms, results, pandemic keyword
combinations in the database. In the literature review, a total of 57 articles,
including case series, case report, letter, article and review, were reached on
the neurological disorders associated with COVID-19 in the last two years.If
the patient is older, the COVID-19 infection may be more severe.
Hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases also make
more challenging the clinical cases. In addition, patients with a history of
neurological disorders and acute respiratory symptoms appear to be at
higher risk of encephalopathy
