Abstract

Neurological involvement in COVID-19 infection is increasing all over the world. Neurological manifestations include headache, dizziness, stroke, seizure, encephalopathy, neuropathy, and skeletal muscle injury. While many patients with CNS involvement have normal neuroimaging, the others reveal significant abnormalities. In this article, we report four patients with neurological manifestations of the Covid-19 infection and its relevant abnormalities in brain magnetic resonance imaging.
