Bilateral globus pallidus lesions associated with COVID-19: Mimicking acute carbon monoxide poisoning
Differentiating COVID-19-related encephalopathy from acute carbon monoxide poisoning is challenging in the presence when bilateral symmetrical GP lesions are present. However, coexisting multiple ischemic lesions - common in COVID-19-related encephalopathy but rare in carbon monoxide poisoning - may serve as a useful radiologic clue.
