"Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus variant first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The virus causes COronaVIrus Disease 2019, or COVID-19, which often presents as respiratory illness. Since its discovery, more than 200 countries have reported nearly 170 million cases of the virus, resulting in over 3.5 million deaths worldwide (as of this writing).1 The long-term physiologic consequences of a COVID-19 infection remain unknown, with particular concern relating to the central nervous system (CNS). This review aims to summarize current literature surrounding the neurologic sequelae associated with COVID-19."
