Abstract

EDITORIAL these patients are at a very high thrombotic risk. At this point, Evolving Neuroimaging Findings the use of therapeutic or prophylactic anticoagulation started to during COVID-19 increase for hospitalized patients. For clinical neuroradiologists, more brain imaging demonstrated hemorrhagic strokes, whether R. Jain hemorrhagic conversion of ischemic stroke or parenchymal hem- orrhages, of which many were in patients receiving therapeutic or prophylactic anticoagulation. Hemorrhagic stroke constituted about 25% of positive neuroimaging findings during this early 1,6 he coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic first appeared and midphase of the pandemic. Tin the United States in late February, and New York City Neuroradiologists have seen their share of various zoonotic vi- (NYC) had its first case on March 1, 2020, with the outbreak ral outbreaks affecting the central nervous system in the past few reaching its peak in NYC around April 7.
