Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus, also called severe acute respiratory syndrome CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged in Wuhan, China, and caused a pandemic disease . Herein, we report a case of SARS-CoV-2 brain lesions suggesting an acute demyelination. At day 7, a brain MRI revealed lesions with restricted diffusion without any hemorrhage or enhancement after gadolinium injection (figure). 4 In our case, the distribution of bilateral but asymmetrical lesions with periventricular and deep white matter involvement is rather suggestive of an acute demyelination. Although mechanisms remain obscure, our case shows the importance of the MRI in the exploration of neurologic symptoms in COVID-19. Demyelination or small-vessel CNS vasculitis might be a rare but silent complication of sedated patients with COVID-19.
