ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe findings on cerebral imaging in patients with COVID-19 and neurological symptoms at two German university hospitals. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Patients with COVID-19 and neurological symptoms and cerebral imaging (CT or MRI) were included. A chart review regarding neurological symptoms, COVID-19 and imaging findings was conducted.RESULTS:
12 patients (4 females, age 68â±â12 years) could be included. Three patients had acute findings. Two patients had acute and subacute cerebral ischemia, one patient had additional intracranial hemorrhages and presumed central pontine myelinolysis. One patient had presumed COVID-19-associated pansinusitis.CONCLUSION:
Findings on cerebral imaging in patients with COVID-19 are uncommon and nonspecific. However, cerebral ischemia is regularly encountered and patients should be evaluated for stroke symptoms. KEY POINTS · Approx. 20â% of patients with COVID-19 develop neurological symptoms.. · Findings on cerebral imaging in patients with COVID-19 are heterogeneous and nonspecific.. · The most common findings are cerebral ischemia and hemorrhages..
