J. Neuroradiol.2020 Oct 01; 41 AB - SUMMARY: Bilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage is exceedingly rare. To our knowledge, our patient is the first reported case of a confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient who had bilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage. In the absence of other risk factors for bilateral deep cerebral involvement, we suspect that COVID-19 may be contributing to these rare pathologies. Most published data represent a correlation between COVID-19 and neurologic complications, and more research is still needed to prove causation.COVID-19coronavirus disease 2019SARS-CoV-2Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2
