Recently a case report published illustrated brainstem dysfunction due to rhombencephalitis in a patient with acute COVID-19. 7 Therefore, patients with SARS-CoV-2 with neurological symptoms must be followed up closely as they can have further deterioration in their respiratory function. The neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV2 may play a role in the respiratory failure of COVID-19 patients Does SARS-Cov-2 invade the brain?
