Zusammenfassung: | White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) lacunar infarcts and cerebral microbleeds are well-established features associated with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL). Increasing case reports and series recounts a wide array of neurological manifestations of COVID-19 including acute cerebrovascular disease, encephalopathy, encephalitis and demyelination. Recently association between COVID-19 and CADASIL has been identified. We describe an unusual case of CADASIL diagnosed as a possible post-infectious manifestation of COVID-19 patient with imaging features closely resembling post-infectious encephalomyelitis. |
