Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. There is a paucity of national-level data showing the effect of OSA on patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke. We aim to assess the impact of OSA on clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke.

Clinical presentation and severity of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) varies greatly amongst patients, as supported by recent literature. This poses an ongoing challenge in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach for managing these patients. Here, we would like to describe a case of acute bilateral pulmonary embolism (PE) presenting with atypical gastrointestinal symptoms in a patient with SARS-CoV-2 infection. This atypical presentation of PE is unique to our case and highlights the significance of a high index of clinical suspicion for SARS-CoV-2 and its associated thrombogenic effect, even in patients with atypical symptoms.
