Takeaway
SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and result in persistent neurological symptoms.
Why this matters
Accumulating data have shown that COVID-19 can result in neurological symptoms, ranging from mild anosmia and/or dysgeusia, to severe complications including encephalopathy and stroke.
The long-term neurological consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection are unknown.
