Abstract
The neurological complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are being better understood as the pandemic progresses. We report a second case of a patient who presented with COVID-19 infection and encephalopathy to our institution. In addition, we report MRI brain and cerebrospinal fluid data. COVID-19 does not seem to cross the blood-brain barrier. The exact mechanisms of encephalopathy and pathological response of COVID-19 are unknown.
TL;DRThe neurological complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are being better understood as the pandemic progresses and CO VID-19 does not seem to cross the blood-brain barrier. (Semantic Scholar)
