CLINICAL STRUCTURE OF LACUNAR STROKES IN PATIENTS WITH COVID-19
Abstract
The study included 143 patients with lacunar strokes, 54 of whom had previously contracted COVID-19. A comparative analysis was conducted on the clinical manifestations, course variants, and severity of asthenic syndrome in patients with lacunar strokes with and without a history of COVID-19. It was found that patients who had recovered from the coronavirus infection showed a more polymorphic clinical picture, with a combination of motor, sensory, and coordination disorders, as well as diffuse microfocal symptoms. Additionally, patients with a history of COVID-19 exhibited a more pronounced asthenic syndrome based on the MFI-20 scale (p < 0.01). The findings suggest a modifying influence of SARS-CoV-2 on the pathogenesis and clinical course of lacunar strokes, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of such patients.
