AbstractNeurological manifestations of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID‐19) such as encephalitis and seizures have been reported increasingly, but our understanding of COVID‐19‐related brain injury is still limited. Herein we describe prefrontal involvement in a patient with COVID‐19 who presented prior anosmia, raising the question of a potential trans‐olfactory bulb brain invasion.
