Research and description of the features of a new coronavirus infection is an urgent task at the present time. The presented clinical case belongs to the rare section, and therefore is quite interesting from the position of a general practitioner. The incidence of acute ischemic stroke against the background of a Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ranges from 0.4% to 8.1%, and cases of damage to the visual centers of the occipital lobes of the brain in the literature are limited to isolated cases.
