Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a severe infectious respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Multiple studies in the literature highlight the association between COVID-19 and stroke. We report a case of acute ischemic stroke in a COVID-19 patient without displaying symptoms of active COVID-19 infection or risk factors for stroke with further review of the literature. The patient’s recovery was complicated by hemorrhagic stroke, which resulted in death. Acute ischemic strokes are one of the challenging complications of COVID-19 infection. Initial rapid assessment and management are crucial in optimizing the outcomes on these patients. Nevertheless, wearing appropriate PPE should be instituted while providing adequate care.
