More than 83,000,000 individuals have encountered Covid-19 disease, caused by novel severe acute respiratory syndrome - Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Besides systemic and respiratory symptoms, neurologic involvement has begun to be discussed recently. As severe involvement, only a few meningoencephalitis and encephalopathy cases were reported in the literature. We herein present a 65-year-old male Covid-19 patient with signs of hemorrhagic encephalopathy, along with literature review.
