Ischemic stroke shortly after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2: A case-control study
Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with rare occurrences of severe venous thromboses. Very little data exist about arterial ischemic strokes. We have assessed the features of ischemic strokes occurring shortly after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in the Cremona area, Italy.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis associated with SARS-CoV-2; a multinational case series
We present a series of CVST cases with SARS-CoV-2 infection.Methods In a multinational retrospective study, we collected all cases of CVST in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients admitted to nine tertiary stroke centers from the beginning of the pandemic to June 30th, 2020. We compared the demographics, clinical and radiological characteristics, risk factors, and outcome of these patients with a control group of non-SARS-CoV-2 infected CVST patients in the same seasonal period of the years 2012 –2016 from the country where the majority of cases were recruited.

Stroke as a delayed manifestation of multi-organ thromboembolic disease in COVID-19 infection
Here, we report a patient with COVID-19 with delayed onset multi-vessel cerebral infarcts and systemic pro-thrombotic state and coagulopathy manifesting as acute limb ischemia and pulmonary embolism to highlight the importance of vigilant monitoring for neurologic impairment and coagulopathy in patients with severe cases of COVID-19 infection. In December 2019, a cluster of pneumonia cases emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province; later identified as a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), also known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Hemorrhagic stroke in hispanics with severe SARS-CoV2 infection
An increasing body of evidence suggests that the coronavirus disease 2019 (SARS-CoV2) may be associated with cerebrovascular disease, although most cases have been ischemic strokes related to occlusion of major intracranial vessels [1 –3]. Intracranial hemorrhages in the setting of SARS-CoV2 infection are exceedingly rare. To the best of our knowledge, only two cases has been reported in detail, one with a massive parenchymal brain hemorrhage and the other with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage [4,5].
