Abstract
OBJECTIVEThis article describes the spectrum of neurologic complications occurring in acute or postacute infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as well as the neurologic risks and benefits of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. LATEST DEVELOPMENTSEarly in the COVID-19 pandemic, reports of neurologic complications of COVID-19 began to surface. A variety of neurologic conditions have since been reported in association with COVID-19. Understanding of the underlying mechanism of COVID-19 neurologic involvement continues to evolve; however, the evidence seems to suggest that aberrant inflammatory responses may play a role. In addition to neurologic symptoms in acute COVID-19, neurologic post-COVID-19 conditions are increasingly recognized. The development of COVID-19 vaccines has been essential in preventing the spread of COVID-19. With increasing numbers of vaccine doses administered, various neurologic adverse events have been reported. ESSENTIAL POINTSNeurologists must be aware of the potential acute, postacute, and vaccine-associated neurologic complications associated with COVID-19 and be poised to serve as integral members of multidisciplinary care teams for patients with COVID-19-related conditions.
