The international European Academy of Neurology survey on neurological symptoms in patients with COVID‐19 infection

Abstract: Background and purpose: Although the main clinical features of COVID-19 infection are pulmonary, several associated neurological signs, symptoms and diseases are emerging. Incidence and characteristics of neurological complications are unclear. For this reason, the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) core COVID-19 Task Force initiated a survey on neurological symptoms observed in patients with COVID-19 infection. Methods: A 17-question on-line survey was made available on the EAN website and distributed to EAN… Show more

“…Seizure, headache, PNS disorders and functional neurological disorders (FND) were the main conditions. Similar to other cohorts [ 4 , 6 , 10 ], headache was not uncommon in our study. In addition, we saw eight patients with FND.…”

“…There were no neurological complications reported in 81 paediatric patients. The total number of neurological cases associated with COVID-19 was small compared to other studies [ 4 , 6 , 10 ]. This might be related to the peculiar demographics of the local outbreak that involved young healthy migrant workers in large crowded dormitories, many of whom were asymptomatic or had mild infection.…”

“…El tamaño de nuestra serie es menor al de otras publicadas, como la de nuestros colegas del registro ALBACOVID 14 , o el estudio multicéntrico madrileño sobre alteraciones del olfato y del gusto publicado al inicio de la pandemia 31 , probablemente en relación con el modelo de hospital (nuestro centro es un hospital pequeño de nivel secundario con 270 camas para una población de 325.000 habitantes aproximadamente, frente a los hospitales terciarios de las publicaciones más amplias) 14 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 . Sin embargo, la ventaja de nuestra serie es su homogeneidad: pacientes jóvenes, sin patología neurológica previa, sin apenas otros antecedentes salvo HTA o DM-2, que han sufrido una afectación respiratoria grave, y que han requerido ingreso en UCI.…”

“…Indeed, SARS-CoV-2 is likely to infect the central nervous system early in the disease's course (2). Results from a large survey involving 2,343 European neurologists revealed headache (61.9%), myalgia (50.4%), anosmia (49.2%), ageusia (39.8%), impaired consciousness (29.3%), and psychomotor agitation (26.7%) as the most frequent neurological findings (3). In a recent experiment, viral replication within neurons soon after infection by SARS-CoV-2 in a human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived BrainSphere model (4), supporting virus neurotropism.…”
