A case of malignant cerebral infarction associated with COVID-19 infection.
TLDR
A case of a 46-year-old healthcare worker with COVID-19 who developed malignant cerebral infarction requiring emergency decompressive craniectomy is described, illustrating the neurosurgical implications associated with inflammatory and pro-coagulopathic derangements in CO VID-19 disease.Abstract:
Stroke as a presenting feature of COVID-19 infection is being increasingly recognized. We describe a case of a 46-year-old healthcare worker with COVID-19 who developed malignant cerebral infarction requiring emergency decompressive craniectomy. This case illustrates the neurosurgical implications associated with inflammatory and pro-coagulopathic derangements in COVID-19 disease.read more

Vascular Thrombosis in COVID-19: A Potential Association with Antiphospholipid Antibodies
TL;DR: Analysis of pooled patients revealed that aPL were significantly more frequent in COVID-19 patients with stroke than stroke patients in the general population, and these antibodies may be a key mechanism of thrombosis in CO VID-19.

Does covid-19 impair endogenous neurogenesis?
TL;DR: In this article , SARS-CoV-2 infection may impair endogenous neural stem cell activity, which may contribute to reduction in brain size and/or neurodegenerative processes.

Acute confusional state as a prognostic sign of COVID-19 large-vessel occlusion (LVO).
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a unique case of COVID-19 LVO manifesting as an acute confusional state in an elderly man in April 2020, where CT angiography revealed 'de novo' occlusions of the left internal carotid artery and proximal right vertebral artery, effectively blocking anterior and posterior circulations.

TL;DR: During the epidemic period of COVID-19, clinicians should suspect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection as a differential diagnosis to avoid delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis and lose the chance to treat and prevent further transmission.

TL;DR: At least a subset of sustained, severe COVID-19 may define a type of catastrophic microvascular injury syndrome mediated by activation of complement pathways and an associated procoagulant state, and could suggest targets for specific intervention.

TL;DR: It remains to make clear whether the potential invasion of SARS‐CoV2 is partially responsible for the acute respiratory failure of patients with COVID‐19, which emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and rapidly spreads around the world.
