Abstract
in English, French

The neurological manifestations and complications of the acute phase of COVID-19 are numerous. They mainly concern the central nervous system in the frequent forms of encephalopathy, encephalitis and neurovascular pathologies. Peripheral neurological manifestations mainly include acute polyneuropathies such as Guillain-Barré syndrome and intensive care neuromyopathies. Most of these manifestations were described during the first wave of the pandemic. The epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, pathophysiological and therapeutic aspects are addressed in this general review of the literature published from 2020 to early 2023.

Les manifestations et complications neurologiques de la phase aiguë de la Covid-19 sont nombreuses. Elles concernent principalement le système nerveux central sous les formes fréquentes d’encéphalopathies, d’encéphalites et de pathologies neurovasculaires. Les manifestations neurologiques périphériques comportent principalement les polyneuropathies aiguës de type syndromes de Guillain-Barré et les neuromyopathies de réanimation. Ces manifestations ont été décrites pour la plupart lors de la première vague de la pandémie. Les aspects épidémiologiques, cliniques, paracliniques, physiopathologiques et thérapeutiques sont abordés dans cette revue générale de la littérature parue de 2020 à début 2023.
