Covid-19 and dysregulated cerebral perfusion: observations with multimodal MRI

The pathogenesis of encephalopathy-associated Covid-19 is still unclear. Multimodal brain MRI in 25 Covid-19 patients with neurological symptoms revealed angiographic and brain perfusion changes suggesting an under-recognized dysregulated brain perfusion not identified by morphological neuroimaging alone. Endothelial dysfunction, a key pathomechanism of dysregulated brain perfusion, may contribute to central-nervous-system disturbances in Covid-19.

Serial imaging and SWAN sequence of developmental venous anomaly thrombosis with hematoma: Diagnosis and follow-up.

Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are usually asymptomatic. We report a case of DVA thrombosis with recurrent tiny frontal hematoma in a 24-year-old man. The contribution of T2-GRE and SWAN sequences are discussed. Follow-up attested complete recanalization after anticoagulation.
