What is it about?
It is well-known that COVID-19 causes pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome, as well as pathological neuroradiological imaging findings and various neurological symptoms associated with them. These include a range of neurological diseases, such as acute cerebrovascular diseases, encephalopathy, meningitis, encephalitis, epilepsy, cerebral vein thrombosis, and polyneuropathies. Herein, we report a case of reversible intracranial cytotoxic edema due to COVID-19, who fully recovered clinically and radiologically.

Why is it important?
Although not specific to COVID-19, cerebral cytotoxic edema is one of these neuroimaging findings. Herein, we report a case of reversible intracranial cytotoxic edema due to COVID-19, who fully recovered clinically and radiologically. Our findings showed that central nervous system findings of COVID-19 disease may be reversible. Therefore, the central nervous system effects of COVID-19 may be much more flexible than previously thought.
Perspectives
I hope this article helps people approach COVID-19 cases with CNS involvement without extensive systemic involvement with caution.
