New research says a wide range of serious psychiatric and neurological complications, including stroke, psychosis, and a dementia-like syndrome is tied to the coronavirus disease.
According to the study, 57 patients have had an ischemic stroke, caused by a blood clot in the brain. A neurologist specializing in infectious diseases and senior author, Benedict Michael of the University of Liverpool, said: “What was particularly interesting was that this spanned the neurological spectrum.”
The researchers pointed out that while smaller studies and case reports from China and other European countries had also raised the connection between COVID-19 and neuropsychiatric complications, but for the new study, the researchers set out to get a full picture of the range of those complications.
The publication noted that with complications in the brain, experts are still trying to figure out exactly how rare they are.
