ABSTRACT

The mortality rate associated with COVID-19 varies among different countries, which can be attributed, in part, to the median age of the affected population and the availability of critical resources needed to treat the patients. According to many reports, the newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 virus is associated with neurological complications in more than 30% of patients. These individuals experience a triad of physical, cognitive, and mental issues that can chronically affect their everyday life. Herein, we would like to discuss the long-term brain disorders in post-COVID-19 disease.

Keywords: Coronavirus, covid-19, sars-cov-2, neurology, brain damage
