Neurological manifestations of COVID-19 and post-covid syndrome as a
current problemfor specialists in education, pedagogy, psychology
Abstract: Based on the available publications data on the main forms of lesions of the central and peripheral nervous system and their clinical manifestations in COVID-19 are systematized in the article. The described neurological manifestations of post-COVID syndrome make it a socially significant disease. In view of this, this review material has educational value for people in all fields of activity, including specialists in the field of education, pedagogy, and psychology, whose activities directly depend on the efficiency of the functioning of the nervous system. At present we are at the stage of accumulation of knowledge about a new coronavirus infection and its long-term consequences. In terms of pathogenesis, neurological disorders in COVID-19 can be caused by cytokine storm, hypoxemia, homeostasis disorders (critical encephalopathy), neurotropicity and neurovirulence of SARS-CoV-2 (isolated cranial nerve lesions, focal and diffuse CNS lesions), and mixed effect of the listed factors. COVID-19 affects the course of chronic neurological diseases. In many COVID-19 survivors, symptoms can persist for a long time, significantly affecting quality of life and performance. This makes postcovid syndrome a socially significant disease and requires dynamic monitoring of patients and development of rehabilitation programs. Various neurological manifestations of postcovid syndrome are discussed, including patients with chronic occupational diseases of the peripheral nervous system and musculoskeletal system.
