Abstract
Varied neurological manifestations have been recognized in patients with the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) including cerebral vascular events. Here we reported a 78-year old patient with COVID-19 who suffering from right middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke rapidly developed cytotoxic edema with significantly elevated inflammatory biomarkers. Presumably what has been called cytokine storm resulted from SARS-CoV-2 infection likely played a role in this patient’s rapid both radiographic and clinical devastating outcome on day-2 after ischemic stroke. Timely lifesaving intervention should be considered in stroke patients with COVID-19 in the setting of cytokine storm.
