Insights
This study details a rare neurological complication of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), specifically an isolated lesion in the corpus callosum during a cytokine storm. The lesion fully resolved after treatment with tocilizumab.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Infectious Diseases
- Immunology
Background:
- Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is known to cause various neurological complications.
- These complications can include cerebrovascular events, encephalitis, myelitis, and demyelinating diseases.
Abstract:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes many neurological complications such as cerebrovascular diseases, encephalitis, myelitis, and demyelinated disease. Here we present a rare complication of COVID-19: an isolated cytotoxic lesion of the splenium of the corpus callosum that occurred during a cytokine storm. It responded well to tocilizumab treatment, with complete regression of the lesion.
