Abstract

Abstract: Although long COVID refers to numerous COVID-19-related symptoms after infection, including depression, fatigue, anosmia, sleep disturbances, and brain fog, the etiology of long COVID remains largely unknown. A 41-year-old woman presented with a 3-week history of complete insomnia without drowsiness throughout the day after contracting COVID-19. SPECT using N -isopropyl-p-[ 123 I] iodoamphetamine showed a significant regional cerebral blood flow reduction in the bilateral thalamus. We diagnosed her as having insomnia accompanied by thalamic hypoperfusion related to COVID-19 infection. To our knowledge, this is the first case of reduced regional cerebral blood flow specifically confined to the thalamus.

COVID-19感染后丘脑血流量明显减少

摘要：尽管长效COVID是指感染COVID-19后出现的多种相关症状，包括抑郁、疲劳、无嗅、睡眠障碍和脑雾，但长效COVID的病因在很大程度上仍不清楚。一名 41 岁的女性在感染 COVID-19 后出现了 3 周的完全失眠史，且全天无嗜睡症状。使用 N-异丙基-p-[123I] 碘安非他明进行的 SPECT 显示，双侧丘脑的区域性脑血流量明显减少。我们诊断她患有与 COVID-19 感染相关的丘脑灌注不足引起的失眠症。据我们所知，这是首例丘脑区域脑血流减少的病例。
