A new small preliminary study has found that young and otherwise healthy patients with COVID-19 may have an increased risk of stroke, even if they are not showing any symptoms of the virus.
Of the patients, which included eight men and six women, 50 percent did not know that they had the coronavirus while the rest were already being treated for symptoms of the disease. The patients also experienced stroke in large vessels in both hemispheres of the brain and in both arteries and veins of the brain, which the researchers say is unusual to see in stroke patients.
"We were seeing patients in their 30s, 40s and 50s with massive strokes, the kind that we typically see in patients in their 70s and 80s," says senior author Pascal Jabbour, MD.
