Our study describes the biggest cohort study in Italy on brain imaging of COVID-19 patients and confirms that COVID-19 patients are at risk of strokes, possibly due to a pro-thrombotic microenvironment. Moreover, apart from stroke, the other neuroradiological patterns described align with the ones reported worldwide.
