Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic disease caused by a new corona virus known as SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2) and well known to increase the risk of developing venous thromboembolism; thus, patients with COVID-19 may present with neurological disorders. Venous thromboembolism is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with COVID-19. We report a case of 35 years old woman who presented neurological disorders due to venous infarction and venous sinus thrombosis as complication in COVID-19. Clinicians and medical staff should be aware of neurologic symptoms and neurological deficit in background of COVID-19, which might even be the first presentation of this infection, thus prompting increased attention to disease presentation and early treatment with anticoagulation should be initiated in these settings.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一种由新型冠状病毒严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的大流行病,众所周知,它会增加发生静脉血栓栓塞的风险;因此,COVID-19患者可能会出现神经障碍。静脉血栓栓塞是COVID-19患者发病和死亡的重要原因。我们报告一例35岁女性患者,她在COVID-19中因静脉梗死和静脉窦血栓形成作为并发症而出现神经障碍。临床医生和医务人员应意识到COVID-19背景下的神经症状和神经功能缺损,这甚至可能是这种感染的首发表现,从而促使人们更加关注疾病表现,并在这些情况下应尽早开始抗凝治疗。
