Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent of hepatitis E, and extrahepatic manifestations, including various types of neurological injury, have also been reported in individuals with HEV infection. The most common neurological manifestations are Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), neuralgic amyotrophy, and encephalitis and/or myelitis. In this article, the authors review the reported cases of HEV-associated neurological injury, discuss the possible pathogenic mechanisms, and outline future directions and research questions.
