Acute Cerebrovascular Disease in COVID-19 Patients
In the study by Li et al., a majority of the 221 COVID-19 patients had ischemic infarcts in both small and large arterial vessels, and 13 (5.4%) had imaging-confirmed cerebrovascular disease. Another study by Oxley et al. reported 5 patients under age 50 with cerebrovascular disease and noted that even without presenting typical respiratory symptoms, young healthy patients with COVID-19 may experience large strokes. The 5 young patients were treated with either antiplatelet or anticoagulation.
