Hospitalized patients with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) developed severe neurovascular complications. This study explores potential links between these neurological issues and the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Infectious Diseases
- Vascular Medicine
Background:
- The emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to a global pandemic.
- Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily a respiratory illness, but neurological manifestations are increasingly reported.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe neurovascular complications in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
- To investigate the potential relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe neurological outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Case series of 10 hospitalized patients.
- Confirmed coronavirus 2019 infections.
- Analysis of neurovascular complications.
Main Results:
- All 10 patients had confirmed COVID-19.
- All patients developed severe neurovascular complications.
- Discussion of potential mechanisms linking SARS-CoV-2 to these complications.
Conclusions:
- COVID-19 may be associated with severe neurovascular complications.
- Further research is needed to understand the pathophysiology and clinical implications.
