ABSTRACT
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first
described in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and rapidly widespread and became a
global concern. In this outbreak, a new beta coronavirus from the order
Nidovirales, which has a positive sense and single-stranded RNA genome, was
identified. Herein, we would like to highlight the neurological complications
of the COVID-19 and the neuroinvasive potential of this virus. It is worthy of
mentioning that COVID-19 mainly causes acute respiratory distress syndrome,
which is one of the most common causes of death. However, the latest studies
demonstrated that, in severe cases, neurological manifestations can occur.
