Abstract

Several neurologic disorders are associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this article, clinical syndromes typically occurring in the subacute to chronic phase of illness and their neuroimaging findings are described with discussion of their COVID-19 specific features and prognosis. Proposed pathogenic mechanisms of these neuroimaging findings and challenges in determining etiology are reviewed.

Keywords: Coronavirus disease; Neuroimaging; Postcoronavirus syndrome; Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
