Abstract
In this article, we presented our case who developed CC splenium infarction who had COVID-19 pneumonia at the same time.
 A 45-year-old male patient with a positive COVID-19 PCR test was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of confusion and loss of direction. He didn’t have a chronic disease, a history of smoking and alcohol abuse. Confusion was found on mental examination. The Splenium of the CC was hyperintense on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hypointense on Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) sequence. 
 There are a few case reports in the literature about young patients who do not have known or unexplained cardiovascular risk factors and who have had COVID-19-related pneumonia. We thought that COVID-19 pneumonia might be a triggering factor since infarction of the splenium region of the corpus callosum is rare, the patient is in the young age patient group, and there is no other comorbidity.
