A Summary of individual cases reporting CLOCC in context of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Author(s) Age/Sex Clinical presentation Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 serology/RT-PCR MRI findings Outcome
Kakadia Do et al. [15] 69/M Disorientation, inattention, bradyphrenia, fever Elevated SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies Hyperintensity in SCC Complete resolution of neurological symptoms and corpus callosum lesion after 2 weeks
Agarwa et al. [16] 73/M Altered consciousness, fever, and respiratory distress PCR positive for SARS-CoV-2 Isolated lesion in SCC Improved and stepped down from ICU after 4 weeks. No documentation about resolution of corpus callosum lesion or neurological status follow-up
Hayashi et al. [17] 75/M Altered sensorium, tremors, ataxia, and urinary incontinence PCR positive for SARS-CoV-2 Abnormal hyperintensity in SCC Neurological symptoms resolved after 3 days. Patient died after 12 days secondary to respiratory failure
Moreau et al. [18] 26/M Acute confusion, agitation, inappropriate speech, fever, dry cough Positive SARS-CoV-2 IgG Hyperintense round lesion in SCC Neurological status improved within 48 h and his cardiac dysfunction resolved within 1 week. Follow-up MRI showed resolution of the corpus callosum lesion
Forestier et al. [7] 55/M Headache, high-grade fever, dizziness and impaired consciousness PCR positive for SARS-Cov-2 Increased diffusion-weighted signal in SCC Improved and extubated 17 days later, follow up MRI showed complete regression of the corpus callosum lesion

CLOCC – cytotoxic lesions of corpus callosum; SCC – splenium of corpus callosum; RT-PCR – real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test; SARS-CoV-2 – severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
