Neurological manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019: exploring past to understand present
AbstractSARS-CoV-2 infection, resulting in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has significantly affected the entire world. It was labelled a pandemic by World Health Organization. Although it commonly produces respiratory symptoms, neurological features have been described. Neurological manifestations may vary from non-specific symptoms such as headache, dizziness, myalgia and/or fatigue, olfactory or taste dysfunction to specific syndromes including meningitis, stroke, acute transverse myelitis and Guillain-Barre syndrome. This review describes potential pathogenetic mechanisms and neurological manifestations of COVID-1...

Stroke admission rates before, during and after the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic
ConclusionThe period of COVID-19 lockdown was associated with a temporary reduction in total admissions of strokes. In particular, there were fewer with TIA and mild stroke. Given the need to prevent the worsening of symptoms and risk of recurrence, it is necessary to emphasise the importance to seek medical care even in states of emergency.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke patients in Huizhou City, China
ConclusionDuring the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the number of AIS patients receiving reperfusion therapy significantly decreased when compared to the same period in 2019. The patients ’ condition increased severity, ODT increased, and the DNT decreased. DPT was not significant for self-visiting and ambulance patients. Moderate to severe stroke patients were more likely to utilize ambulance services.

Clinical, cerebrospinal fluid, and neuroimaging findings in COVID-19 encephalopathy: a case series
ConclusionIn our consecutive series with 43 encephalopathy cases, neuroimaging and CSF analysis did not support the role of direct viral CNS invasion or CNS inflammation as the cause of encephalopathy.

White matter hyperintensity determines ischemic stroke severity in symptomatic carotid artery stenosis
ConclusionOur study showed that larger WMH volume is associated with more severe stroke and poorer prognosis in patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis.

Who is really blind in the time of coronavirus: the patient or the doctor? A rare case of Balint ’s syndrome
ConclusionDuring SARS-CoV2 pandemic, Italian physicians were forced to work with less instrumental diagnostic resources, relying on their clinical knowledge mostly. The aim of this case report is to highlight the importance of performing a precise neurological evaluation, particularly during these challenging times: it might avoid incorrect diagnosis and favour the discovery of rare clinical diseases.

Image-guided delayed recanalization of middle cerebral artery occlusion
We report a case of a 56-year-old patient who received mechanical thrombectomy 96 h after the onset of symptoms by diffusion/perfusion imaging. The application of advanced neuroimaging and analytical software can accurately estimate viable brain tissue, which enables clinicians to implement individualized therapeutic strategies for patients with acute stroke.

COVID-19 presenting with agraphia and conduction aphasia in a patient with left-hemisphere ischemic stroke
We report on LA, a patient who was affected by a left-hemisphere ischemic stroke, probably because of SARS-CoV-2. The patient showed a highly specific neuropsychological profile characterized by severe agraphia and some signs of conduction aphasia. All other cognitive and sensorimotor functions remained intact. We sustain that specific neuropsychological signs can be observed in patients with COVID-19. Therefore, in-depth and comprehensive neuropsychological assessment should be included to better explore and qualify the neuropsychological consequences of COVID-19. This is a new challenge for diagnosis and rehabilitation, ...

Breaking the ice to improve motor outcomes in patients with chronic stroke: a retrospective clinical study on neuromodulation plus robotics
Discussion and conclusionThis is the first trial with dstDCS coupled with RAGT in chronic stroke patients with gait impairment. When timely coupled with RAGT, dstDCS may be considered an effective tool for the recovery of lower limb function in patients with first unilateral stroke in the chronic phase. Moreover, our data suggest the ductility of dstDCS concerning RAGT timing, thus making this intervention suitable in a neurorehabilitation setting and well adaptable to patients ’ needs.

Does anodal trans-cranial direct current stimulation of the damaged primary motor cortex affects wrist flexor muscle spasticity and also activity of the wrist flexor and extensor muscles in patients with stroke?: a Randomized Clinical Trial
This study is double-blinded, sham-controlled randomized, clinical trial with three parallel arms. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of anodal trans-cranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) over the damaged primary motor cortex (M1) on spasticity of the wrist flexor and also the activity of wrist flexor and extensor muscles in sub-acute stroke patients. This study was performed on 32 stroke patients. The patients are assigned to three groups (intervention, sham, and control). All participants in the first two groups received 20-min concurrent M1 a-tDCS or sham tDCS and functional electrical stimulation...

Intracranial hemorrhage in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients
ConclusionAlthough relatively uncommon among COVID-19 patients, ICH is associated with a high mortality rate. Early identification of patients at risk of developing ICH, particularly with comorbid conditions and on anticoagulant therapy, may be important to improve outcomes.
