Abstract:
Long COVID is often characterized by cognitive complaints and deficits occurring immediately or several weeks after the infectious disease. Neuropsychological tests can revealed attention and executive function anomalies and FDG PET can display hypometabolic areas affecting various regions including frontal and cingulate cortices as well as precuneus and brainstem. We report here the cognitive and FDG PET evolutions over one year in 6 patients suffering from long COVID. Our study shows cognitive and FDG PET improvements in most of the cases and highlight the importance of a careful neurological follow-up in these patients.
