Neurological findings associated with neuroimaging in COVID-19 Patients

Abstract

Patients with COVID-19 and other corona virus infections have been documented as having a variety of neurologic symptoms. In this article, we conducted a thorough evaluation of the imaging results of individuals who had been identified as having neurological symptoms linked to coronavirus infections. The use of CT and MRI has revealed varying radiologic outcomes in the setting of various neurologic presentations. Despite the fact that the majority of patients have normal imaging analyses, certain patients exhibit intra- and extra-axial abnormalities. There have been reports of encephalomyelitis, meningitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, and encephalopathy. In especially during the present COVID-19 pandemic, familiarity with these radiologic patterns can help radiologists and referring doctors investigate coronavirus infections in patients with worsening or progressing neurologic symptoms.
