| description | Patients infected by COVID-19 could require intensive care unit admission especially due to acute respiratory failure. However, neurological manifestations are very common. Among these, ischemic stroke or cerebral hemorrhage may have unfavorable outcome. The mechanisms leading to cerebral damage by SARS-CoV2 are still under debate. One of the most accepted theories implies an endothelial activation which in turns increase the risk of thrombus formation with the development of stroke, either ischemic or hemorrhagic. The more severe the COVID-19 disease, the higher the risk of stroke. Stroke in ICU patients are not frequent, but cerebral hemorrhage has devastating effects with high mortality. In these pictorial essay of case reports, main clinical aspects are discussed, along with a summary of the evidence about pathophysiology and treatment of these patients. |
