Up to 40% of COVID-19 survivors experience long-term neurological conditions, and it’s crucial that radiologists understand these, according to a May 17 presentation at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) 2021 virtual annual meeting.

“Neuroimaging can illuminate a spectrum of central nervous system abnormalities, from ischemic lesions and microhemorrhages to meningoencephalitis and white matter lesions,” she noted. Long-term neurological and neuropsychological sequelae are reported in up to 30% to 40% of COVID-19 survivors. Symptoms can include fatigue, myalgia, headache, dysautonomia, and cognitive impairment, according to Gerevini.
