The majority of patients (7\/8) presented with fever preceding neurological symptoms. The spectrum of neurological findings encompassed altered consciousness (5\/8), headache (4\/8), cognitive and behavioral disturbances (4\/8), ataxia (2\/8), dysarthria (2\/8), pyramidal signs (2\/8), and visual impairments (2\/8). Peripheral blood markers of inflammation and cytolysis revealed trends that paralleled disease progression. Elevated cerebrospinal fluid protein levels were observed in a single patient, whereas cell counts, glucose, and chloride levels were unremarkable. Treatment with glucocorticoids and antiviral medications led to complete clinical remission, with subsequent MRIs (7\/8) showing radiological improvements within 3 days to 2 weeks posttreatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study shows that CLOCCs associated with COVID\u201019 are characterized by a favorable prognosis and distinct MRI features, similar to those observed in other clinical contexts. This underscores the importance of including CLOCCs in the differential diagnosis of COVID\u201019 and highlights the need for ongoing research to address the neurological condition of SARS\u2010CoV\u20102 infections and to inform preventive and therapeutic strategies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.70547","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,29]],"date-time":"2025-05-29T03:00:05Z","timestamp":1748487605000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["COVID\u201019\u2010Associated
