Abstract
Neurological complications in COVID-19 infected patients have been extensively reported. CNS affections include encephalitis, toxic encephalopathy, ageusia and anosmia, headache or acute cerebrovascular disease and delirium [1-5]. The mechanisms of CNS infection by CoV2 are still debated and it has been proposed a direct invasion through blood-brain barrier, a neuronal pathway, hypoxia damage, immune-response mediated injury or angiotensin-converter enzyme 2, among others [2,6,7].
