Abstract
Introduction: Recently, weeks after the COVID-19 prevalence, there were reports of brain involvement and neurologic presentations in the COVID-19.
Case presentation: We present five cases of COVID-19 and cerebrovascular events. A 34-year-old woman with IVH and ischemic stroke. A 60-year-old man with multiple small hemorrhagic foci and mild IVH in the occipital horn. A 63-year-old woman with large left parietooccipital intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and IVH. A 56-year-old man with left hemispheric and midbrain ICH, lateral ventricular IVH, and hydrocephalus. A 85-year-old woman with right parietal hemorrhagic infarct. The coagulation profile was normal in all of them. The chest CT scan showed the typical ground-glass appearance of COVID-19.
Conclusions: Recently, there were reports of brain involvement and neurologic presentations in the COVID-19. These reports and the present study necessitate the aimed and designed studies with emphasis on neurologic presentations in COVID-19 patients to illustrate the exact effects of coronavirus-2 on the central nervous system.
Keywords: COVID-19; Coronavirus-2; ICH; IVH; cerebrovascular events.
