ABSTRACT
This article reports two cases of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in which occlusion of large cerebral arteries occurred. These occurred in a female patient in the early stage of COVID-19 and in the second case in the late stage. One female patient could be successfully treated with i.v. thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy. Coagulopathy in the course of COVID-19 can result in severe stroke with poor outcome even in younger patients. With respect to the etiology of arterial occlusions (COVID-19-induced hypercoagulopathy, cardiomyopathy, vasculitis) there is a necessity for further research.
