Article Synopsis
- Several studies show an increase in neurological and psychiatric problems after COVID-19, including symptoms like depression, anxiety, and seizures, as well as strokes.
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) has been linked to COVID-19, with most cases emerging weeks to months post-infection, raising concerns about possible connections to neurodegenerative diseases.
- An 83-year-old man with a history of COVID-19 exhibited memory loss and cognitive decline, rapidly worsening and eventually being diagnosed with probable CJD, highlighting the need for further research on post-COVID neurological issues.
Cerebral arteriopathy and ischemic stroke in a pediatric MYH11 patient.
J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis
March 2023
Objectives: Mutations in the MYH11 gene result in smooth muscle cell dysfunction and are associated with familial thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissection. We describe a pediatric patient with a stroke and a pathogenic MYH11 IVS32G>A mutation, and a phenotype similar to ACTA2.
Methods: A proband girl with an acute ischemic stroke underwent genetic analysis and 7T high-resolution MRI.
