Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in neurology and neurosurgery: A scoping review of the early literature

Abstract

Highlights

Pre-existing cerebrovascular disease may be a risk factor for poor outcome in patients infected with COVID-19.

COVID-19 infection may manifest as neurological symptomatology, including: headache, dizziness, hypogeusia and/or anosmia, altered level of consciousness, acute cerebrovascular events, seizure(s), and ataxia.

Although the mechanism of invasion is not fully understood, COVID-19 appears to demonstrate neuroinvasive potential. Viral encephalitis +/- hemorrhagic necrosis involving mesial brain structures such as the mesial temporal lobes and thalami have been reported to date.

Long-term neurodegenerative effects of COVID-19 have yet to be elucidated, but are theorized based on past experience with other beta-coronaviruses.

Neurology and neurosurgical practice patterns are being changed dramatically and constantly updated with publications demonstrating early experiences and recommendations based on facilities and regions most affected.

<p>Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a devastating respiratory illness that has dramatically changed the medical landscape around the world. In parallel with a rise in the number of cases globally, the COVID-19 literature has rapidly expanded with experts around the world disseminating knowledge and collaborating on best practices. To date, the literature has predominantly consisted of case reports, case series, and systemic protocols for dealing with this deadly disease from a plethora of specialties with larger observational and randomized studies only now starting to emerge. This scoping review of MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and the Cochrane Library aims to evaluate and summarize the current status of the COVID-19 literature at it applies to neurology and neurosurgery. Neurological symptomatology, neurological risk factors for poor prognosis, pathophysiology for neuroinvasion, and actions taken by neurological or neurosurgical services to manage the current COVID-19 crisis are reviewed.</p>

<title>INTRODUCTION</title>
<p id="par0030">Several cases of pneumonia occurring in Wuhan, China including several patients with exposure to a large seafood market selling live animals was announced by Chinese authorities in late December 2019 [
<xref rid="bib0005" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. The pathogen was isolated as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) resulting in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The disease has since spread rapidly to most countries around the world. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic as of March 11, 2020.</p>
<p id="par0035">Early reports have demonstrated respiratory predominant symptomatology including fever, cough, dyspnea, and fatigue [
<xref rid="bib0010" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
]. However, as the prevalence of COVID-19 continues to increase globally, other disease manifestations such as those affecting the central nervous system (CNS) are reported [
<xref rid="bib0015" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
]. Furthermore, the emergence of cases involving less commonly afflicted organ systems has necessitated rapid and dramatic changes in practice patterns and has significant implications for all specialties of medicine. This scoping review evaluates the current status of the COVID-19 literature as it relates to neurology and neurosurgery.</p>

<title>METHODS</title>
<p id="par0040">The 26-item 2018 PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist was used as an outline for this study [
<xref rid="bib0020" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
]. An a priori protocol was not pre-registered. A search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library (including the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Cochrane Special Collections) from inception to April 7, 2020 was performed in order to identify articles evaluating both COVID-19 and neurology or neurosurgery. Variations of “COVID” AND “neuro OR brain OR spine OR peripheral nerve” related title/abstract/keywords and medical subject heading terms were performed with individual database search strategies outlined in
<xref rid="tbl0005" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
. No language restrictions were applied. Database searches were combined and duplicates were removed.

<title>Neurological Symptoms and Prognostic Risk Factors in COVID-19</title>
<p id="par0060">Neurological symptomatology has been increasingly reported in recent publications. More frequent neurological symptoms can include headache (11-13%), dizziness (8-17%), and altered level of consciousness (8-9%) [
<xref rid="bib0025" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0075" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. Several peripheral nervous system findings are also now reported in up to 5% of cases including include hypogeusia, hyposomia or anosmia, and neuralgia [
<xref rid="bib0075" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. Less commonly, acute cerebrovascular disease (3%), epilepsy (1%), and ataxia (1%) have also been reported [
<xref rid="bib0075" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. Although uncommon, background cerebrovascular disease may be a risk factor for poor outcome in COVID-19 patients [

].</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec0025">
<label>3.2</label>
<title>Invasive neurological potential of COVID-19</title>
<p id="par0065">SARS-CoV-2 is a single stranded RNA enveloped virus with an amino acid sequence similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) [
<xref rid="bib0040" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
]. The virus is believed to use the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor for cellular adherence [
<xref rid="bib0005" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. Typically causing respiratory or gastrointestinal disease, these ACE2 receptor epithelial and endothelial cells have been identified throughout the chest and abdomen [
<xref rid="bib0090" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0095" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
]. Although the expression of ACE2 is low in the brain, autopsy studies have previously demonstrated SARS-CoV particle presence brain tissue [
<xref rid="bib0100" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
]. Moreover, neurological deposition has been demonstrated in most other beta-coronaviruses including SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, HCoV-229E, HCoV-229E, mouse hepatitis virus, and porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis coronavirus (HEV) [
<xref rid="bib0030" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
]. Some authors have postulated a mechanism other than ACE2 epithelial or endothelial cell adherence as a route for CNS infiltration such as trans-synaptic viral transfer after initial peripheral nerve invasion [
<xref rid="bib0030" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
]. This would then explain findings of some studies demonstrating the virus’ predominant presence in neurons [
<xref rid="bib0100" ref-type="bibr">[20]</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0105" ref-type="bibr">[21]</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0110" ref-type="bibr">[22]</xref>
]. However, the higher relative prevalence of SARS-CoV in the cerebrum (where glial cells are more common) compared to the cerebellum in autopsy studies has led others to postulate a glial presence of ACE2 [
<xref rid="bib0085" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0100" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
].</p>
<p id="par0070">Human cases of SARS-CoV related polyneuropathy and encephalitis have been previously reported and a similar risk has been assumed for SARS-CoV-2 [
<xref rid="bib0040" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0115" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
]. To date, at least three case reports of SARS-CoV-2 encephalitis have been reported [
<xref rid="bib0120" ref-type="bibr">[24]</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0125" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0130" ref-type="bibr">[26]</xref>
]. The first case was reported in a Beijing hospital upon a SARS-CoV-2 RNA positive test of a patient’s cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) [
<xref rid="bib0040" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0080" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0120" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
]. The second case was a 24-year-old Japanese man with sinusitis complicated by medial temporal lobe encephalitis and lateral ventriculitis [
<xref rid="bib0125" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]. The CSF also tested positive for SARS-SoV-2 RNA in the latter patient. A third case involving hemorrhagic necrotizing encephalopathy of the medial temporal lobes and thalami in a female airline worker in her fifties was recently reported in the United States [
<xref rid="bib0130" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
].</p>
<p id="par0075">The mechanism of action for SARS-CoV-2 neurological invasion is not yet specified. Several theories have been postulated including: direct invasion, blood circulation pathway, neuronal pathway, hypoxia injury, immune injury/cytokine storm syndromes, ACE2 receptor expression, among others [
<xref rid="bib0040" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0130" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
]. As previously described, perhaps the leading current theory is direct seeding and trans-synaptic infiltration via the olfactory nerve or perineuronal cells. This route of invasion has been documented in animal studies for other coronaviruses [
<xref rid="bib0135" ref-type="bibr">[27]</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0140" ref-type="bibr">[28]</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0145" ref-type="bibr">[29]</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib0150" ref-type="bibr">[30]</xref>
]. For example, experimental studies in transgenic mice injected intra-nasally with SARS-CoV have demonstrated brain entry via the olfactory nerves with subsequent rapid spread to medial brain structures including the medial temporal lobe, basal ganglia, thalami, and midbrain [
<xref rid="bib0150" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>
]. These findings would be consistent with the limited case report data available to date.</p>
<p id="par0080">Animal studies of other beta-coronaviruses have also suggested a link with some long-term neurodegenerative diseases [
<xref rid="bib0155" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
]. Long-term persistent psychological distress has been shown in SARS survivors [
<xref rid="bib0160" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
]. The potential long-term neurodegenerative and psychological effects of COVID-19 have yet to be determined.</p>

<title>Impact of COVID-19 on Practice Management</title>

<xref rid="bib0070" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
] practices have been reported (
<xref rid="tbl0010" ref-type="table">Table 2</xref>
). Included among these are algorithms pertaining to the deployment of healthcare personnel, and the prioritization, scheduling and cancelling of surgical cases. Algorithms and protocols such as these have been created through interdisciplinary expert panel consensus with the goal of addressing critical neurological and neurosurgical issues and allowing for the safe and continued care of neurological patients in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ongoing study of the effectiveness of these treatment algorithms will be necessary to ensure the implementation of optimum patient management strategies during this pandemic.

<title>DISCUSSION</title>
<p id="par0095">Limited literature is available to date on the COVID-19 as it relates to the clinical neurosciences. This scoping review identifies several significant findings pertaining to the practice of neurology and neurosurgery, including:

<p id="par0120">Neurology and neurosurgical practice patterns are being changed dramatically and constantly updated with publications demonstrating early experiences and recommendations based on facilities and regions most affected.</p>
</list-item>
</list>
</p>
<p id="par0125">As an early scoping review of available literature to date, this study has certain limitations. First, symptoms classified as neurological including headache, dizziness, and altered level of consciousness are non-specific with multiple potential causes. These symptoms may relate to an alternative system of origin, may be therapy related, and/or may be of psychosocial origin. The extent to which these symptoms may impact the practice of neurology and neurosurgery is uncertain. Second, the predominant limitation of this scoping review pertains to limited available early literature. As the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise dramatically across the world, we anticipate that the literature will also continue to evolve. As the prevalence of COVID-19 increases, more cases reporting rare neurological presentations of COVID-19 are likely to be published. A better understanding of the mechanism and therapeutic options for invasive neurological cases may also evolve. Consensus statements and society guidelines will likely require continual refinement based on emerging COVID-19 specific data. Finally, optimal practice patterns will likely vary widely with nuanced configurations based on regional prevalence and available health care resources. In order to ensure optimum neurological patient management, ongoing study of treatment algorithms will be essential for updating and adapting these approaches as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves.</p>
