To the Editor,
Post-acute Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) syndrome is defined as the appearance of symptoms or an organ dysfunction, which occurs at least 4 weeks after the first COVID-19 manifestations and cannot be explained by any alternative diagnosis [1]. Neurological complications are also well recognized, and include acute cerebrovascular events, encephalopathy, meningoencephalitis, Guillain–Barre syndrome, demyelination, dementia, parkinsonism, and others [2]. On the other hand, cerebral vasculitis is one of the causes which can lead to brain damage related to COVID-19 infection [3]. We present a 69-year-old male with systemic vasculitis and central nervous system (CNS) involvement as a manifestation of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome.
