Neuroimaging Findings of SARS-CoV-2 Infection
This review article is a pictorial review of the wide variety of brain and spine CT and MR imaging findings related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with neurologic deficits. By classifying CNS manifestations according to their pathogenesis, we provide different examples
of vascular, immunologic, infectious, and miscellaneous complications associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We present cases encountered during the pandemic, retrieved from a large health system.
Learning Objectives: To review the spectrum of common and uncommon brain and spine neuroimaging findings of COVID-19 and describe the key imaging features for each finding
