COVID-19 and Its Neurological Impact
In some cases, COVID-19 may attack the central nervous system, causing neurological symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, muscle weakness, nerve damage, or disorientation. If these symptoms persist, it may be recommended that a patient goes for an MRI of the brain or other parts of the nervous system. MRI allows physicians to assess the central nervous system for any abnormalities.
The most common neurological effects of COVID-19 are stroke and encephalitis, while less common effects include peripheral nerve damage, brain haemorrhage or memory loss. These can be the consequences of severe cases of COVID-19.
