Objective: Understand the neurological clinical manifestations presented by patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2)/Coronavirus 19 (COVID -19).  Method: It is an integrative review, conducted in June 2020, based on the guiding question “What are the neurological manifestations presented by patients with SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19?, developed based on the PICO strategy. The combination of words “SARS-CoV-2” AND “COVID-19” AND “neurologic manifestations” was used to search the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), National Library of Medicine (PubMed) databases, Scopus, and Web of Science. Results: Of the six articles included, four were in PubMed, and all had been published in international journals. Among the manifestations observed, olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions were the ones that stood out. Other presentations followed involved myalgia, headache, and dizziness to encephalitis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Conclusion: Neurological manifestations are present in patients with SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19, including those not hospitalized, highlighting olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions. These may be associated with an early and severe picture of COVID-19; therefore, its recognition in infection is essential. Despite these manifestations, it is still necessary to investigate the pathogenic mechanisms and disease progression in the context of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral (PNS).
