We´re witnessing a pandemic due to COVID-19, which has generated a strong impact in Public Health, Health Services and a economic level, still to be determinated. It´s a recently discovered respiratory virus that has the capacity to produce neurological symptoms, either indirectly o directly. Much has been written about neurological symptoms, mainly by no-neurologist, and the frecuency and type of neurological manifestations must be precisely defined in both, acute and medium-long term phases. After carrying out and extensive bibliographic review, the objective of this paper is to analyze what has been described so far and how it can be improved to know exactly the type and frecuency of neurological manifestations related to COVID-19.
