Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has affected the entire world, causing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic since it was first discovered in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Among the clinical presentation of the disease, in addition to fever, fatigue, cough, dyspnea, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, infected patients may also experience neurological and psychiatric repercussions during the course of the disease and as a post-COVID-19 sequelae. Thus, headache, dizziness, olfactory and gustatory dysfunction, cerebrovascular disorders, neuromuscular abnormalities, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder can occur both from the infection itself and from social distancing and quarantine. According to current evidence about this infection, the virus has the ability to infect the central nervous system (CNS) via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors on host cells. Several studies have shown the presence of ACE2 in nerve cells and nasal mucosa, as well as transmembrane serine protease 2, key points for interaction with the viral Spike glycoprotein and entry into the CNS, being olfactory tract and blood-brain barrier, through hematogenous dissemination, potential pathways. Thus, the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the CNS supports the development of neuropsychiatric symptoms. The management of these manifestations seems more complex, given that the dense parenchyma and impermeability of brain tissue, despite protecting the brain from the infectious process, may hinder virus elimination. Still, some alternatives used in non-COVID-19 situations may lead to worse prognosis of acute respiratory syndrome, requiring caution. Therefore, the aim of this review is to bring more current points related to this infection in the CNS, as well as the repercussions of the isolation involved by the pandemic and to present perspectives on interventions in this scenario.

Abstract
COVID-19, the clinical syndrome produced by infection with SARS-CoV-2, can result
in multisystem organ dysfunction, including respiratory failure and
hypercoagulability, which can lead to critical illness and death.
Musculoskeletal (MSK) manifestations of COVID-19 are common but have been
relatively underreported, possibly because of the severity of manifestations in
other organ systems. Additionally, patients who have undergone sedation and who
are critically ill are often unable to alert clinicians of their MSK symptoms.
Furthermore, some therapeutic measures such as medications and vaccinations can
worsen existing MSK symptoms or cause additional symptoms. Symptoms may persist
or occur months after the initial infection, known as post-COVID condition or
long COVID. As the global experience with COVID-19 and the vaccination effort
increases, certain patterns of MSK disease involving the bones, muscles,
peripheral nerves, blood vessels, and joints have emerged, many of which are
likely related to a hyperinflammatory host response, prothrombotic state, or
therapeutic efforts rather than direct viral toxicity. Imaging findings for
various COVID-19–related MSK pathologic conditions across a variety of
modalities are being recognized, which can be helpful for diagnosis, treatment
guidance, and follow-up. The online slide presentation from the RSNA Annual Meeting is
available for this article. ©RSNA, 2022
