The brain MRI showed multiple DWI lesions and corresponding ADC sequence changes which were consistent with multiple acute infarcts possibly related to hypoxic-ischemic injury from systemic perturbations and resultant tissue hypoxia. The distribution of the CT and MRI changes in our case is similar to a recent case report of acute hemorrhagic necrotizing encephalopathy in a COVID-19 patient [3] , which case, to our knowledge, was not tested for a pathological NOTCH3 mutation. The clinical features and CT and MRI changes are consistent with acute subcortical multiple infarctions which could be related to or provoked by a viral infection. Our described case is an atypical presentation of an acute COVID-19 infection in a previously asymptomatic CADASIL patient who presented with multiple infarcts and encephalopathy. ./cache/cord-351440-vtf3o5ml.txt ./txt/cord-351440-vtf3o5ml.txt
