Abstract
COVID-19 has been associated with a variety of multi-organs complications, with an increasing proportion of patients presenting with neurologic manifestations. There is still an uncertainty in the relationship between stroke and COVID-19. Therefore, in this study, the authors report 18 cases of acute stroke occurring in the setting of COVID-19 infection, including 11 ischaemic strokes and 7 haemorrhagic strokes and identified in a Lebanese tertiary hospital. In this case series, patients with ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke had elevated markers of inflammation and coagulation. Ischaemic stroke patients were treated with different regimens of anti-platelets, anticoagulants, and thrombolytic therapies. Death was the most common outcome observed and was associated with the severity of COVID-19 infection.
