abstract:
In the recent pandemic disease, called COVID-19, the role of neurologists and neurobiologists
represents a chance to study key features of brain infection and deepen neurological
manifestations of COVID-19 and other coronavirus infections. In fact, many studies suggest brain
damage during infection and persistent neurological symptoms after COVID-19 infection. Reverse
transcription PCR test, antibody tests, Computed Tomography (CT) of the lung, and Magnetic
Resonance (MR) of the brain of the patient were periodically performed during this case report
for eight months after infection. The aim of this article is to describe the prolonged neurological
clinical consequences related to COVID-19. We believe it is clinically clear that we can define a
post-acute COVID-19 neurological syndrome. Therefore, in patients after a severe clinical condition
of COVID-19, a deepening of persistent neurological signs is necessary.
