Background: Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic disease with a wide spectrum of symptoms. Neurological symptoms are often found in this disease. Stroke on the other hand is a multifactorial disease that can be caused by a lot of underlying problems. Case: We report a case of a 67 years old man with a weakness on the right side that was worsened one day before arrival in hospital and a shortness of breath. the patient had history of stroke before, and controlled hypertension. Head Ct-scan showed a stroke infarct, and Swab RT-PCR showed + SARS-CoV-2. Discussion: Infection may become the risk factor of stroke. inflammatory mediators such as TNF-a , and CRP support the procoagulant state which leads to stroke. Conclusion: COVID-19 may increase the risk of stroke due to the inflammation state that leads to procoagulant state
Vestibular symptoms are symptoms that interfere with daily activities. Diagnosing these symptoms often relies on radiologic examinations that lead to a false negative. Proper clinical approach and study showed higher accuracy than radiologic examination on vestibular disease. These clinical approaches are based on time, triggers, and targeted analysis. The new vestibular symptoms will be classified into acute vestibular syndrome, episodic vestibular syndrome, and chronic vestibular syndrome. An acute vestibular syndrome is a vestibular symptom that lasts for days up to weeks. The episodic vestibular syndrome is vestibular symptoms that periodically appear. The chronic vestibular syndrome is a vestibular symptom that appears from months to years. Diagnosing vestibular symptoms must be precisely made. The proper termination is the best way to facilitate doctors in communicating with each other. Using this classification is a precise and easy way to detect vestibular etiology. This review is made for clinicians to determine and differentiate the etiology of the vestibular syndrome and gives information in uniforming nomenclature of vestibular symptoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
