Abstract

Covid-19, of which unprecedented complications are constantly emerging, still continues to be the leading problem all over the world. As previously reported, neurological manifestations are some of the complications seen in novel coronavirus disease. Neurological complications are known to vary widely, including intracerebral hemorrhage. In this study, we intended to report two Covid-19 cases with concurrent intracerebral hemorrhage. In these case reports, we aimed to highlight the importance of being aware of neurological manifestations in Covid-19 patients.

İKİ OLGU SUNUMU: İNTRAKRANİAL KANAMANIN EŞLİK ETTİĞİ COVİD-19 VAKALARI

Abstract

Sürekli olarak yeni komplikasyonlarla gündeme gelen Covid-19, tüm dünyada hala önde gelen sorun olmaya devam ediyor. Daha önce bildirildiği gibi, nörolojik belirtiler, yeni coronavirüs hastalığında görülen komplikasyonlardan bazılarıdır. Nörolojik komplikasyonların, intrakraniyal kanamalar da dahil olmak üzere geniş ölçüde çeşitlilik gösterdiği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, eş zamanlı olarak intrakraniyal kanaması da olan iki Covid-19 vakasını paylaşmak istedik. Bu vaka sunumları ile Covid-19 hastalarında nörolojik belirtilerin farkında olmanın önemini vurgulamayı amaçladık.
