Critical illness-associated cerebral microbleeds in severe COVID-19 infection. Clinical imaging Gupta, N. A., Lien, C. n., Iv, M. n. 2020; 68: 239–41

Abstract

Neurologic complications of COVID-19 infection have been recently described and include dizziness, headache, loss of taste and smell, stroke, and encephalopathy. Brain MRI in these patients have revealed various findings including ischemia, hemorrhage, inflammation, and demyelination. In this article, we report a case of critical illness-associated cerebral microbleeds identified on MRI in a patient with severe COVID-19 infection and discuss the potential etiologies of these neuroimaging findings.
