ABSTRACT
Ten days after SARS-Cov2 reinfection with mild gastrointestinal symptoms and headache that occurred 2 months after an initial infection, a previously healthy 37-year-old woman developed fluctuating facial and upper limb paresthesia and weakness. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed ischemic lesions in the right parietal region of different stages within the same vascular territory. A cerebral angiography demonstrated an isolated focal arteriopathy with no other arterial involvement. Focal cerebral arteriopathy is exceedingly rare among adults and most commonly triggered by varicella-zoster virus reactivation. We present a case of focal cerebral arteriopathy in a patient with a recent reinfection with SARS-CoV-2.
