Chest CT scan in a patient with COVID-19 pneumonia and meningoencephalitis. Transverse thin-section CT scan on day 7 after symptom onset revealed bilateral, peripheral ground-glass opacities associated with crazy-paving pattern and subpleural lesions, predominant in the middle and lower lobes. There were no airway abnormalities, neither mediastinal lymphadenopathy nor pleural effusion. It is a typical image of a severe form (50% lung damage) of COVID-19 pneumonitis.
