Chronic fatigue and headache in post-COVID-19 syndrome: a radiological and clinical evaluation
While T2-hyperintense lesions are common in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome, their presence does not correlate significantly with symptoms of fatigue or headaches. These findings suggest that T2-hyperintense brain lesions may not be directly related to the subjective experience of these symptoms. Further research with larger sample sizes and adjustment for potential confounding factors is necessary to better understand the relationship between MRI findings and post-COVID-19 syndrome symptoms.
