Bilateral basal ganglia ischemia associated with COVID-19: a case report and review of the literature

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, has a broad clinical spectrum, from asymptomatic to multi-organ dysfunction. Acute cerebrovascular events associated with coronavirus disease 2019 are mainly due to the severe acute respirato...
