Late-post-COVID-19 cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and stroke: a case report

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease increases risk of venous thromboembolisms (VTE), primarily deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Only a few cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in association with a COVID-19 infection have been reported and are limited to acute COVID-1...

Description
Summary:	Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease increases risk of venous thromboembolisms (VTE), primarily deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Only a few cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in association with a COVID-19 infection have been reported and are limited to acute COVID-19 disease. Hypercoagulable conditions persist in postacute COVID-19 disease, which carries an increased risk of VTE. We report a case of CVST and stroke 56 days post-COVID-19 infection presenting with an atypical clinical picture. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first observations of CVST in the postacute phase of COVID-19 disease. Clinicians should be aware of this potential late complication and should consider appropriate diagnostic imaging techniques in patients with COVID-19-infection history.
