Abstract. Stroke remains one of the major causes of long-term disability worldwide, significantly impairing motor abilities, sensory perception, and emotional-cognitive functions. By the end of the acute phase, approximately 85% of stroke survivors experience persistent motor dysfunction and speech disturbances such as aphasia. In some individuals infected with COVID-19, the onset of acute ischemic stroke may be linked to specific structural and functional alterations in the brain. This article explores the possible mechanisms by which COVID-19-related neurological changes contribute to stroke development.
