Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed bilateral, especially left occipital, frontal cortical white matter and splenium of corpus callosum T2/Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensities and diffusion restriction in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) (Figure 2 ) revealing vasogenic edema similar to posterior reversible leucoencephalopathy (PRES). Recent autopsy reports have revealed that, like many viral infections SARS-CoV-2 can cause brain tissue edema and partial neuronal degeneration [3] . Infectious toxic encephalopathy is a reversible brain dysfunction syndrome caused by systemic toxemia, metabolic disorders and hypoxia during the process of acute infection [4] . Although we could not determine the exact ethiology in our case, regulating the blood pressure controlling the vasogenic edema by corticosteroid treatment and controlling the virus related pneumonia have helped fort he recovery of our patient. ./cache/cord-280242-2w2kl0uf.txt ./txt/cord-280242-2w2kl0uf.txt
