Although Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily a disease of the respiratory system in its transmission and clinical manifestations, physicians have also reported a tropism toward the nervous system.
Neurological symptoms can occur as one of many systemic manifestations of a critical form of the disease or in isolation as the predominant presenting complaint.
We report a series of 6 patients who suffered significant cerebrovascular accidents while being treated for critical COVID-19 in the intensive care units of a quaternary care hospital in New York's Hudson valley.
This series demonstrates how a relatively rare but catastrophic neurological complication can occur in patients with COVID-19 while they are being managed for their more common problems such as respiratory and renal failure.
尽管2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）在传播和临床表现上主要是一种呼吸系统疾病，但医生们也报告称其对神经系统有嗜性。
神经症状可能作为重症形式疾病的多种全身表现之一出现，或单独作为主要的就诊主诉出现。
我们报告了一系列6例患者，他们在纽约哈德逊河谷一家四级医疗医院的重症监护病房接受重症COVID-19治疗时发生了严重的脑血管意外。
该系列病例表明，COVID-19患者在治疗其更常见的问题（如呼吸和肾衰竭）时，可能会出现相对罕见但灾难性的神经并发症。
