To describe neuroimaging findings and to report the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with neurologic manifestations.
In this retrospective multicenter study (11 hospitals), we included 64 patients with confirmed COVID-19 with neurologic manifestations who underwent a brain MRI.
The cohort included 43 men (67%) and 21 women (33%); their median age was 66 (range 20-92) years. Thirty-six (56%) brain MRIs were considered abnormal, possibly related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. Ischemic strokes (27%), leptomeningeal enhancement (17%), and encephalitis (13%) were the most frequent neuroimaging findings. Confusion (53%) was the most common neurologic manifestation, followed by impaired consciousness (39%), presence of clinical signs of corticospinal tract involvement (31%), agitation (31%), and headache (16%). The profile of patients experiencing ischemic stroke was different from that of other patients with abnormal brain imaging: the former less frequently had acute respiratory distress syndrome ( = 0.006) and more frequently had corticospinal tract signs ( = 0.02). Patients with encephalitis were younger ( = 0.007), whereas agitation was more frequent for patients with leptomeningeal enhancement ( = 0.009).
Patients with COVID-19 may develop a wide range of neurologic symptoms, which can be associated with severe and fatal complications such as ischemic stroke or encephalitis. In terms of meningoencephalitis involvement, even if a direct effect of the virus cannot be excluded, the pathophysiology seems to involve an immune or inflammatory process given the presence of signs of inflammation in both CSF and neuroimaging but the lack of virus in CSF.

描述伴有神经症状的 2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者的神经影像学表现,并报告其流行病学和临床特征。
本回顾性多中心研究(涉及 11 家医院)纳入了 64 例经确诊患有伴有神经症状的 COVID-19 且接受了脑部磁共振成像(MRI)检查的患者。
该队列包括 43 名男性(67%)和 21 名女性(33%),中位年龄为 66(20-92)岁。36 例(56%)脑部 MRI 结果异常,可能与严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒有关。最常见的神经影像学表现为缺血性脑卒中(27%)、软脑膜增强(17%)和脑炎(13%)。最常见的神经表现为意识模糊(53%),其次为意识障碍(39%)、皮质脊髓束受累的临床体征(31%)、激越(31%)和头痛(16%)。发生缺血性脑卒中的患者与其他脑部影像学异常的患者在表现上存在差异:前者急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)发生率较低( = 0.006),而皮质脊髓束体征更常见( = 0.02)。脑炎患者更年轻( = 0.007),而软脑膜增强患者激越更常见( = 0.009)。
COVID-19 患者可能出现多种神经系统症状,这些症状可能与严重和致命的并发症(如缺血性脑卒中或脑炎)有关。就脑膜脑炎受累而言,即使不能排除病毒的直接作用,鉴于 CSF 及神经影像学中均存在炎症迹象但 CSF 中无病毒,其病理生理学似乎涉及免疫或炎症过程。
