摘要：The crisis of the new coronavirus has several long-term consequences for society as hundreds of countries live in a regime of physical distance and social isolation. Studies also prove the existence of neurological symptoms in patients with COVID-19, such as headache, dizziness and impaired consciousness. This is an integrative literature review, carried out according to the steps: elaboration of the research question, bibliographic survey, data evaluation, data analysis and presentation of results. The databases used were Medical Literature Analysisand Retrieval System Online and Science Direct. The search in the databases resulted in 1,768 publications, which were selected by the eligibility criteria, resulting in a final sample of 12 articles. Different neurological damages associated with COVID-19 infection were identified, which allow discussions on how these consequences can happen and what factors are involved. It is considered that serious damage is more present in the population of risk groups, the elderly and people with comorbidities. The studies associated with the consequences of SARS-CoV-2 are very much directed to care and attention to the respiratory system, which promotes a smaller number of studies directed to the neurological system, however, there is evidence, case series and studies that represent neurological damage by the new coronavirus. Thus, the neurological manifestations found in patients with COVID-19 need assistance to assist providers in the treatment, management and recognition of potentially fatal neurological complications.
