Intracerebral and Intraventricular hemorrhage with covid-19: A case report
Authors
Abstract:
Background and Importance: Coronavirus 19 is caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus. The primary target of the virus is the respiratory system, but it can also affect other systems of the body, such as the cardiovascular system and the Central Nervous System )CNS). Case Presentation: In this study, we introduce an 83-year-old man who referred due to reduced level of consciousness and hemiparesis in left part of his body and had no symptoms such as fever, cough, muscle aches and fatigue. In High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of lung, the Ground-glass opacification/opacity(GGO) view indicated Covid-19 disease, and in computerized tomography (CT) scans of the brain, hemorrhage was evident in the right thalamus, lateral ventricles, and right ventricle. The Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test performed on the upper part of nose was also positive. This is a case report of intracranial and intraventricular hemorrhage in an aged man with asymptomatic COVID-19. Conclusion: Low of consciousness in the elderly can be a sign of infection with SARS-COV 2 virus and cause adverse effects in these people. Key Word:COVID-19, Intracranial hemorrhage, Aged
