SARS‐CoV2 has been shown to cause central nervous system (CNS) damages. However, there have been few studies on neurological changes in recovered COVID-19 patients. In current study, we used DTI to assess the potential delayed damages in the CNS of the recovered COVID-19 patients caused by SARS-CoV2. Our results suggested that the microstructural integrity of white matter fibers is disrupted in recovered COVID-19 patients, which provided the evidence of CNS damages.
