During at least the first few months following a coronavirus infection, evenmild cases of Covid-19are associated with subtle tissue damage and accelerated losses in brain regions tied to the sense of smell, as well as a small loss in the brain's overall volume, a new British study finds. ...
Brain damageAim To report on the impact of COVID-19 on a brain damage unit. Methods We reviewed the records of all patients admitted to our brain damage unit. The study included all the significant clinical events from the first RT-PCR assay (April 8th, 2020) for SARS-CoV-2 to the ...
In a very small cadaver study, researchers from the National Institutes of Health found that antibodies created by the body in response to COVID-19 infection can cause damage to blood vessels in the brain, causing neurological symptoms. Scientists believe the discovery of antibody-driven immune com...
There also emerging evidence that the so-called blood-brain barrier — the well-known reduced "leakiness" of brain vasculature, thought to protect our brains from toxins and increased inflammatory effects — may well be made more "leaky" due to antibody effects, making our br...
Yesterday, October 1, 2020, a new study was published in JAMA Otolaryngology, documenting one case where a woman suffered a brain fluid leak after doctors punctured the lining during a coronavirus test. Surgery was required to repair the leak. The title of the study is Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak...

However, a study reported a case of a brain abscess caused by A. fumigatus in a diabetic patient with COVID- 19 without sinonasal involvement, which had occurred through hematogenous spread from the lung. The authors suggested that a brain MRI should be obtained in patients with COVID-19 ...
摘要:【目的】应用集成磁共振成像技术(SyMRI)评估COVID-19康复患者脑灰质微结构的改变。【方法】29例COVID-19康复患者分为重症患者组(SG=11例)和普通患者组(OG=18例),选取年龄、性别、体质指数(BMI)和教育年限相匹配的健康志愿者作为健康对照...
through hypoxia, but few studies have documented the specific types of damage that distinguish COVID-19-related brain injury. Several thousand patients with COVID-19 have been seen at the MGH since the outbreak began early this year, and this study included findings from three of those patients...
