COVID-19 may increase the risk of ischemic stroke: A case report

A 72-year-old patient with well-controlled HT and a risk factor such as a coronary stent 20 years ago. In the 3rd week of the Corona virus infection, he had a stroke in the unusual localised micro-embolic watershed nature. However, no cardioembolic or cerebrovascular risk factor was detected in the etiological investigation of stroke, and there were no cerebrovascular complaints until this event. In the literature, there is a relationship between many viruses, especially varicella, and stroke in embolic nature. This case suggests that COVID-19 infection may also cause stroke or increase risk of stroke..
