Abstract

The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is known as a highly infectious disease with several systemic complications. Both vascular and neurological disorders emerged as challenging management conditions for practitioners. In order to highlight COVID-19-induced coagulopathy, we report the case of an ischemic stroke with upper acute limb ischemia (ALI), revealing a COVID infection in a 60-year-old male patient with a history of diabetes.
