Abstract
Since the world was hit by novel coronavirus pandemic, so many challenges for all healthcare providers have been arisen. It is safe to say that no specialty was singled out in the matter of different complication from this viscous covid-19 situation and neurologists and neurosurgeon were no different. There are some studied reporting neurological complication associated with coronavirus infections but when it comes to life threatening and acute neurological complications such as strokes and malignant cerebral edema the data is scant. Here we are going to review the possible pathophysiology of this phenomenon, the relationship between covid-19 and acute ischemic stroke and malignant cerebral edema by taking a closer look at current data regarding this matter.
