The presence of stroke has been observed in young adults (under fifty years of age) without cardiovascular risk factors who are suffering from COVID-19. It is speculated that there is really a significant increase, as a few cases have yet to be described, or that the infection favors his development. Cerebrovascular events are more common in older patients with stroke risk factors, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus, and those who have elevated fibrin D-dimers. Multiple case reports and series about cerebrovascular disease (CVD) in COVID-19 has been informed. The mechanism that causes cerebral ischemia in COVID-19 remains undiscovered. However, progressively there is increasing evidence of hypercoagulability that can be or contribute to the cause. We review the current literature about CVD both epidemiology and etiology. More studies are needed to understand.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a new type of serious disease that affects children in childhood and is associated with infection with SARS-CoV-2. According to current data, COVID-19 is less common in children and has a milder course. Recently, however, there has been an increase in the number of pediatric patients worldwide who have symptoms resembling Kawasaki disease after overcoming COVID-19 infection. Kawa-COVID-19 probably represents a new systemic inflammatory syndrome associated with SARS-CoV-2 (MIS-C) in children. Symptoms of Kawa-COVID-19 occur in pediatric patients approximately two weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infecton, and in 50% of cases, the most common complication is myocarditis. Prognostic severe factors include patients over five years old and ferritin concentrations> 1400 μg / L. Further international studies will be needed in the future to help better understand the nature of the disease.
