Hundreds of millions of COVID cases have been reported so far and long-term lingering clinical symptoms are frequent and are called long COVID. Neurological signs including cognitive complaints are often described in long Covid. In COVID patients, the Sars-Cov-2 virus can reach the brain and could be responsible for cerebral anomalies observed in long COVID. Long-term careful clinical follow-up of these patients is necessary to detect early signs of neurodegeneration.
