Intracerebral Haemorrhage in an Adolescent With COVID-19 With Acute Kidney Injury: Is the Virus to Blame?

Neurological manifestations in COVID-19 are well described. We describe a 15-year-old girl with acute focal deficit with altered sensorium due to massive right intracerebral hemorrhage following a hypertensive emergency and acute on chronic kidney disease. She was found to be COVID positive by rever...

description Neurological manifestations in COVID-19 are well described. We describe a 15-year-old girl with acute focal deficit with altered sensorium due to massive right intracerebral hemorrhage following a hypertensive emergency and acute on chronic kidney disease. She was found to be COVID positive by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). She gradually improved although her neurological deficit in the form of left hemiparesis persisted at discharge. There might be a possible association between intracerebral hemorrhage and COVID-19, although the causation is still not well established.
