In our cohort of 178 admitted SARS-CoV-2-positive patients with select neurological conditions during the Omicron B.1.1.529 surge, 54% of COVID-19 cases were considered incidental and/or asymptomatic, and the identified neurological conditions resembled those associated with the original SARS-CoV-2 strain. Further studies characterizing neurological presentation in Omicron sublineages and other variants are warranted in an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
