Since the start of the pandemic, there have been extensive studies from all over the world reporting on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated neurological syndromes. Although initially thought of as primarily a respiratory pathogen, it became increasingly clear that the virus does have other systemic manifestations, including on the neurological system. Since then, the discovery of the many neuroimaging features of COVID-19-associated neurological syndromes have puzzled researchers and physicians in terms of interpretation, and how best to manage these findings to benefit patients. We sought to review the neuroimaging findings of COVID-19-associated neurological syndromes, particularly the vessel wall imaging (VWI) features, in the hope of finding a common feature that would better guide physicians in terms of further management of this group of patients. We will also look into the potential pitfalls of interpreting the VWI findings in these patients.
自疫情开始以来，世界各地进行了大量研究，报告了2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）相关的神经综合征。尽管最初认为该病毒主要是一种呼吸道病原体，但越来越明显的是，该病毒确实有其他全身表现，包括对神经系统的影响。从那时起，COVID-19相关神经综合征的许多神经影像学特征的发现，在解释方面让研究人员和医生感到困惑，以及如何最好地处理这些发现以使患者受益。我们试图回顾COVID-19相关神经综合征的神经影像学发现，特别是血管壁成像（VWI）特征，希望找到一个共同特征，以便更好地指导医生对这组患者进行进一步管理。我们还将探讨解释这些患者VWI结果时的潜在陷阱。
