Ischemic cerebrovascular disease has become one of the main causes of disability worldwide. The development of the pandemic of SARS CoV-2 has not decreased consultation for ischemic cerebrovascular events; on the contrary, neurotropism of the new coronavirus makes the central nervous system an affected area.2,3,4 This has directly caused increased presentation, consultations, and procedures on these patients.
