| Abstract | Introduction:?Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is declared a pandemic disease by the World Health Organization. Although the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are preferentially affected by SARS-CoV-2, many patients have been presented with neurologic symptoms. In this report, we describe COVID-19 patients with neurological manifestations. Case Presentation:?We present 14 patients referred to Semnan Kowsar Hospital. The mean age at presentation was 54.25 ? 20.01 years with a range of 24-84 yr. At admission, they had mild symptoms of respiratory involvement. In contrast, they had a wide range of neurological conditions like impaired consciousness, seizure, stroke, ataxia, and muscle numbness. After hospitalization, they developed overt respiratory symptoms. They were positive for COVID-19 confirmed by real-time PCR. All cases received standard care of COVID-19. Conclusions: During the?SARS-CoV-2 pandemic disease, patients with neurological manifestations might be affected by coronavirus. Such patients should be thoroughly evaluated and followed-up. | en |
