RESUMEN
Neurological manifestations and complications are increasingly reported in coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) patients. Although pulmonary manifestations are more common, patients with severe disease may present with neurological symptoms such as in our case. We describe a case report of a 50-year-old male without previous known comorbidity who was found unresponsive due to COVID-19-related neurological complications. During this pandemic, an emergency radiologist should be well acquainted with various neurological manifestations of COVID-19. In this article, we will discuss the pathogenesis, imaging findings, and differentials of this disease.

COVID-19-associated arterial and venous thrombotic events are multifactorial in origin, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Intestinal ischemia due to thrombus is a rare manifestation of COVID infection. Here, we report the case of a patient who presented with fever, malaise, and diarrhea, and was found to be COVID-19 positive; his clinical course was further complicated by devastating thrombosis of the superior mesentery artery (SMA) associated with COVID-19 infection.
