The impact of covid-19 concerning the central nervous system

Since the beginning of the pandemic, emerging information regarding manifestations of the infection with Sars-Cov-2 virus has been laid out, mainly involving the respiratory consequences as it impacts profoundly the global death rates. In February 2020, fi rst publications that sustain the theory the virus could also possess neuroinvasive potential, have been reported. Until present, there is consistent evidence on the consequences over the CNS (central nervous system) and PNS (peripheral nervous system). To shed light over the central nervous system implications, this paper aims to review some of the clinical entities involved.
