We describe the case of a 42-year-old female with COVID-19 and acute psychomotor agitation and without comorbidities. Brain MRI showed injury to the olfactory system associated with diffusion weighted imaging restriction in the ependymal surface of the lateral ventriculus suggesting ventriculoencephalitis.
