Although the predominantly parieto-occipital distribution of the lesions recalls posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) [5] , the prevalent cortical involvement and diffusion MRI pattern are not typical of PRES. More recently, evidence of direct viral infection of the endothelial cell and diffuse endothelial inflammation has been reported, resulting Fig. 1 Forty-seven-year-old man diagnosed with COVID-19 and presenting neurological signs of agitation and spatial disorientation after weaning from mechanical ventilation. Multiple, cortical areas of punctiform and gyriform FLAIR and DWI hyperintensity (arrows) in both parietal lobes, with no ADC changes Fig. 2 Fifty-four-year-old woman diagnosed with COVID-19 and presenting neurological signs of agitation and spatial disorientation after weaning from mechanical ventilation. ./cache/cord-338751-2eo7ityc.txt ./txt/cord-338751-2eo7ityc.txt
