Abstract

Objective: To identify the main neurological manifestations and their implications in the patient's clinical condition as well as the pathophysiology of SAR-CoV-2 in the central nervous system. Methods: An integrative literature review was conducted based on 14 articles extracted from the PUBMED and LILACS database. Results: It was found that headache, vertigo, taste and olfactory disorders and stroke are the most prevalent symptoms. Conclusion: The pathophysiology of neurological involvement by COVID-19 remains inconclusive and knowing the neurological symptoms associated with the most severe conditions can assist in early interventions and in improving prognosis.
