Hydrocephalus as Possible Neurological Complication of COVID-19: A Case Report and Systematic Literature Review
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), typically affects the respiratory system but can also present with neurological manifestations. Although some cases of hydrocephalus related to COVID-19 infection have been reported, a cl...

description | Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), typically affects the respiratory system but can also present with neurological manifestations. Although some cases of hydrocephalus related to COVID-19 infection have been reported, a clear association between these two entities is not universally recognized yet. Here, we report another interesting case of hydrocephalus in a 60-year-old man with a previous aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) who tested positive for COVID-19. Secondly, we illustrate a systematic overview of the previously reported cases of hydrocephalus related to COVID-19 infection. Finally, in light of the literature, we discuss the supposed underlying mechanisms that could make the association between COVID-19 infection and hydrocephalus plausible. |
