Abstract:

COVID-19 infection may involve the nervous system and has been associated with a number of neuropsychiatric complications, including impairment of cognition and dementia. Such complications are more likely to occur in (but are not limited to) patients with severe COVID-19 infections and those with concomitant risk factors. In this case report, the authors describe a normally functioning 51-year-old woman who developed cognitive impairment of a degree that rendered her unable to care for herself most likely related to a relatively nonsevere infection with COVID-19 about 2 months earlier. A detailed report of her deficits of different areas of cognitive functioning is provided. This report aims to make clinicians more aware of the potential for cognitive impairment in patients who have suffered from COVID-19, including those with infections that were not severe.
