Manifestaciones neurológicas en pacientes con diagnóstico de COVID-19

Palabras clave: COVID-19, coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, manifestaciones neurológicas

Resumen

Introducción: La aparición de una nueva variante de coronavirus ha desatado en una pandemia relacionada con un síndrome de distrés respiratorio severo por SARS-CoV-2. Las primeras manifestaciones asociadas a este nuevo síndrome eran netamente respiratorias. Sin embargo, con los diferentes estudios se evidenció no solo afectación pulmonar, si no sistémica especialmente a nivel neurológico en donde los pacientes presentan síntomas centrales y periféricos de afectación por coronavirus.

Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó una revisión utilizando base de datos como: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scielo, incluyendo estudios de tipo observacionales, artículos de revisión, guías clínicas, que evaluaran la presencia de manifestaciones neurológicas en pacientes con diagnóstico de del 2019 al 2021.

Resultados: Se incluyeron 26 artículos donde se observó que las manifestaciones neurológicas inespecíficas tal como la cefalea fue la más común con una presentación de 30%. Las manifestaciones neurológicas específicas se presentan con una frecuencia alrededor de 3% pero con mayor gravedad, incluyendo convulsiones e ictus.

Conclusiones: es una patología donde su principal característica es la sintomatología pulmonar. Sin embargo, algunos pacientes presentan manifestaciones neurológicas específicas las cuales son menos frecuentes, pero tienen un carácter más grave y en contraste las manifestaciones neurológicas inespecíficas que son más frecuentes pero no ponen en riesgo la vida del paciente. Tal sintomatología es crucial al momento de abordar a un paciente con COVID-19 y se debe tener presente las mismas en la atención médica oportuna.
