Abstract

The article presents a narrative review, clinical observations. Special attention is given to the pathogenesis, features of neurological manifestations and mental disorders, neurological complications in coronavirus infection, illustrated by clinical cases. Neurological disorders occur in approximately 36,4% patients with COVID-19. Currently, severe viral hemorrhagic encephalitis, toxic encephalopathy, acute demyelinating lesions of the peripheral nervous system, stroke, behavioral and emotional disorders have been described. Despite numerous publications on the neurological pathology in COVID-19, pathogenesis, risk factors, and relation between neurological disorders and coronavirus infection remain unclear. There is a need for systematization of the accumulated data on the damage to the nervous system during the COVID-19 epidemic for clinical routine use, further development of the optimal treatment strategy and implementation of effective preventive measures.
