Several mechanisms such as coagulopathy, cytokine storm, viral endotheliopathy, hypertension, and immune modulation might play a role in the pathogenesis of SAH in COVID-19. This study aimed to report the first case of spontaneous non-aneurysmal SAH associated with SARS-CoV-2 from India. We briefly discussed the possible pathogenetic mechanisms underlying this process and succinctly reviewed the relevant literature. Case report: We herein report a case of a non-comorbid young woman infected with SARS-CoV-2 presenting with thunderclap headache and eventually non-aneurysmal SAH,  who recovered with conservative management. Conclusion: Headache, although a very common clinical feature of COVID-19 itself, must be investigated in detail to identify alternate causes that may be life-threatening. This case also incites further enquiry into the possible pathogenic mechanisms of neurovascular complications in COVID-19.}, issn = {2375-1924}, doi = {10.18103/mra.v10i1.2673}, url = {https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/2673} }
