Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
A fines del año pasado, se comunicó la aparición de una neumonía de etiología desconocida. Posteriormente, se confirmó que era producida por un nuevo coronavirus denominado SARS-CoV-2. Actualmente, declarada pandemia, la enfermedad afecta a más de 4 millones de personas y ha provocado miles de muertes alrededor del mundo. En nuestro país, los contagiados ascienden a más de 10.000 y los muertos superan los 400. Dentro del espectro de manifestaciones clínicas, las neurológicas han ido cobrando relevancia en los últimos reportes, incluso se ha propuesto cierta asociación (no confirmada) con los ataques cerebrovasculares y el síndrome de Guillain-Barré. En esta revisión, nos proponemos recopilar la información disponible sobre la fisiopatología y las manifestaciones neurológicas del SARS-CoV-2.
