A 49-year-old COVID-19 positive male progressed to ARDS, and developed cardiac arrest for short period during endotracheal intubation. MRI brain axial images at the level of basal ganglia, (a) T₂-FLAIR, (b) DWI b1000, and (c) ADC map, shows bilateral cerebral gyral and basal ganglia swelling and bright signal on T₂-FLAIR, corresponding diffusion restriction with high signal on DWI signal and low signal on ADC map, consistent with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (long and short arrows respectively in a–c). ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome; DWI, diffusion-weightedimage; FLAIR, fluid attenuated inversion recovery; ICU, intensive care unit.
