Given the ongoing global SARS-CoV-2-vaccination efforts, clinical awareness needs to be raised regarding the possibility of an increased incidence of SARS-CoV-2-vaccine-related immune-mediated thrombocytopenia in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) secondary to cerebral sinus and vein thrombosis (CVT) requiring (emergency) neurosurgical treatment in the context of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). Only recently, an association of vaccinations and cerebral sinus and vein thrombosis has been described. In a number of cases, neurosurgical treatment is warranted for these patients and special considerations are warranted when addressing the perioperative coagulation. We, herein, describe the past management of patients with VITT and established a literature-guided algorithm for the treatment of patients when addressing the impaired coagulation in these patients. Increasing insights addressing the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2-vaccine-related immune-mediated thrombocytopenia guide physicians in developing an interdisciplinary algorithm taking into account the special considerations of this disease.
鉴于全球正在进行的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)疫苗接种工作,需要提高临床意识,关注在疫苗诱导的免疫性血栓性血小板减少症(VITT)背景下,继发于脑静脉窦和静脉血栓形成(CVT)的脑出血(ICH)患者中,SARS-CoV-2疫苗相关免疫介导的血小板减少症发病率增加的可能性。最近才描述了疫苗接种与脑静脉窦和静脉血栓形成之间的关联。在许多病例中,这些患者需要进行神经外科治疗,在处理围手术期凝血时需要特别考虑。在此,我们描述了VITT患者的既往管理情况,并建立了一个文献指导的算法,用于在处理这些患者凝血功能受损时的治疗。对SARS-CoV-2疫苗相关免疫介导的血小板减少症病理生理学的深入了解不断增加,指导医生制定一种跨学科算法,同时考虑到这种疾病的特殊情况。
