AI Article Synopsis
- - A 63-year-old man with a month-long fever experienced sudden weakness in his left arm, leading to a hospital admission where he was diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke.
- - Brain MRI revealed areas of hyperintensity in multiple regions, while magnetic resonance angiography showed a lack of blood flow in part of the middle cerebral artery.
- - Additionally, a chest CT scan indicated ground-glass opacities, and he tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that his stroke might be linked to blood clotting issues related to COVID-19.
Article Abstract
A 63-year-old man, who had persistent fever for a month, was admitted to the hospital with sudden left arm palsy with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 3. Consequently, brain MRI showed hyperintensity of the bilateral occipital, right parietal, and right frontal lobes on diffusion-weighted imaging. Moreover, FLAIR presented hyperintensity of the left occipital lobe. Magnetic resonance angiography detected the deficit of the blood-flow signal of the horizontal segment of the middle cerebral artery. He was diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke. In addition, chest CT showed ground-glass opacities, and test to detect SARS-CoV-2 was positive. Cerebral embolism was suspected. However, the source was unknown. His ischemic stroke was possibly associated with coagulation abnormality caused by coronavirus disease 2019.
