Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). First identified in December 2019, in Wuhan, China, it has since become a global pandemic. Complications of COVID-19 are not limited to the pulmonary system, but also include neurologic manifestations such as stroke. We report two cases of coincidental presentation of COVID-19 and cerebrovascular accident. Further studies are needed for a comprehensive understanding of the neurological pathology of COVID-19 and its effects on the nervous system, but stroke teams should be wary of the fact that COVID-19 patients may present with cerebrovascular accidents.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）由严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2 型（SARS-CoV-2）引起。该病毒于 2019 年 12 月在中国武汉首次被发现，现已成为全球性大流行疾病。COVID-19 的并发症不仅限于肺部系统，还包括神经系统表现，如中风。我们报告了两例 COVID-19 与脑血管意外同时发生的病例。为了全面了解 COVID-19 的神经病理学及其对神经系统的影响，还需要进一步研究，但中风团队应该注意到 COVID-19 患者可能会出现脑血管意外的事实。
