The search combined the terms "Covid 19," "rehabilitation/treatment," and "neurological complications."</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The exact route by which SARS-CoV-2 can penetrate the CNS is still unknown, although a possible retrograde transynaptic pathway from peripheral nerve endings, and/or through the olfactory bulb, have been suggested. An early management of COVID-19 by a multiprofessional team is fundamental to avoid long term sequaele. Rehabilitation is recommended to improve respiratory and cardiac function, as well as to avoid long term neurological complications.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>As no specific conclusions in term of prognosis and treatment could be done, research and consensus paper are needed to provide NeuroCovid patients with the best treatment options, including neurorehabilitation.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Acta Biomedica Atenei Parmensis}, author={Raciti, Loredana and Calabrò, Rocco Salvatore}, year={2021}, month={Sep.}, pages={e2021317} }
