Neurological Implications of COVID-19
COVID-19 presents a spectrum of neurological implications, ranging from mild symptoms to severe complications. Common neurological manifestations include anosmia, headache, and dizziness. Severe cases may exhibit encephalopathy, characterized by mental state or cognitive impairment. Additionally, an increased risk of stroke has been observed, possibly linked to blood clot formation. Guillain-Barre Syndrome has been reported, suggesting a potential immune-mediated response. Children with COVID-19 may experience encephalopathy and inflammatory conditions. The understanding of COVID-19's impact on the nervous system emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and collaboration between healthcare professionals to comprehend the full range and long-term consequences of these neurological effects.
