COVID-19, typically regarded as a respiratory illness, exhibits substantial neurological involvement, especially in severely affected patients. Acute cerebrovascular events, including ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, are seen in relatively young, previously healthy individuals, linked to hypercoagulability and prothrombotic states. Neurological complications of COVID-19 may arise without direct central nervous system infection, stemming from a severe systemic reaction to the infection. Further research into the pathophysiology and clinical trials are needed to optimize strategies preventing long-term consequences and therapeutic choices.
