Article Synopsis
- Recreational use of nitrous oxide (NO) has led to a rise in severe neurological disorders, particularly affecting young adults in economically disadvantaged areas.
- The study analyzed 181 patients, noting a significant incidence increase in 2020-2021, especially in those aged 20-25.
- Compared to other inflammatory neurological disorders, NI-NDs were found to be two to three times more common in these vulnerable populations.

Objectives: To provide an overview of the spectrum, characteristics and outcomes of neurologic manifestations associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
