During the prevailing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the disease has started manifesting with some neurological symptoms. There have been reports on acute ischemic stroke, cerebral venous thrombosis, and intracerebral hemorrhage associated with COVID-19. The plausible mechanism that causes these ischemic processes is called "sepsis-induced coagulopathy." A 40-year male patient, who was hospitalised due to COVID-19 pneumonia, developed sudden-onset motor aphasia and right-sided hemiplegia. ⋯ It is presumed that ischemic events occur by an increase in coagulopathy secondary to inflammation. COVID-19 causes ischemic processes by inducing endothelial dysfunction and arterial or venous thrombosis. Key Words: COVID-19, Stroke, Coagulopathy, Ischemia; SARS-CoV-2.

Thrombotic complications increase in novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Most of these complications are associated with venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism; and arterial thrombosis is rare. Usually, arterial thrombosis affects peripheral arteries. ⋯ Supra-celiac aortic thrombosis and splenic infarction were detected. This case is reported to share experience regarding our treatment approach in the light of the literature data. Key Words: Arterial thrombosis, Acute aortic thrombosis, COVID-19.
