Damage to the thalamus that results in thalamic aphasia, a language disability, is typically associated with vascular events, tumours, or degenerative disorders. There is growing interest in examining the relationship between COVID-19 and thalamic aphasia due to its association with several neurological problems, including strokes and minor lesions that may affect the thalamus. The virus's ability to induce hypercoagulable states and systemic inflammation, which may result in thalamic ischemic strokes and interfere with language processing networks, has sparked this interest. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic's continuous nature, more investigation is necessary to fully comprehend the virus's neurological effects, particularly any potential connections to thalamic aphasia, in order to diagnose and treat thalamic aphasia, forecast language recovery, and customise rehabilitation plans for those affected, including those recuperating from COVID-19-related neurological complications.
