Popis: Neurological symptoms are prevalent in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases, ranging from 30% to 80% depending on the severity of the disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We have documented a case of a 26-year-old woman who suffered from trigeminal neuritis caused by COVID-19, but responded well to corticotherapy. Two primary mechanisms may explain the neuroinvasive and neurovirulent properties of human coronaviruses. Neurological symptoms can persist long after recovery from COVID-19.
