Abstract: COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), can involve in nervous system damage, even severe encephalitis, in addition to respiratory problems. As the number of infections increases, the cases of COVID-19 related encephalitis gradually increase. The mechanism of COVID-19 related encephalitis is still uncertain. Based on relevant literature, we review the possible pathogenesis of COVID-19 related encephalitis and empirical treatment reported in existing cases, hoping to provide theoretical basis for future research and treatment.
