Editorial

The cover of this issue ofBrain relates to the article by Ross Paterson, Rachel Brown and co-workers that describes the range of neurological presentations in patients with definite, probable or possible COVID-19 encountered in a series of multidisciplinary team meetings organized at a single neurological centre. The commonest CNS disorders encountered were encephalopathy without obvious structural lesion or CSF abnormality, encephalitis or encephalomyelitis, and ischaemic stroke, often in the context of a hypercoagulable state. The accepted manuscript has already been downloaded almost 30  000 times even before formal publication, and its Altmetric score is easily the highest ever forBrain articles. Also in this issue is a paper by Francisco Hern ández-Fernández and colleagues, who report an incidence of cerebrovascular disease of 1.4% among 1683 patients admitted to hospital with SARS-CoV-2, and pathological and radiological data consistent with thrombotic microangiopathy.
