The SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for COVID-19 infection has affected the world from the end of 2019 with pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations. Hematologic complications are a rare but severe complication of the COVID-19 infection. There have been very few cases reported in the past showing thrombotic complications in the pediatric age group. We present a case of a 12-year-old male child showing cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) who tested positive for COVID-19 at the same time. We highlight the potential of this complication in the pediatric age group and discuss the treatment, which is an infrequent phenomenon.
导致新冠病毒肺炎(COVID-19)感染的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)自2019年底以来已对全球造成影响,出现了肺部及肺外表现。血液学并发症是COVID-19感染的一种罕见但严重的并发症。过去报道的小儿年龄组出现血栓形成并发症的病例非常少。我们报告一例12岁男性儿童,同时检测出COVID-19呈阳性,且出现了脑静脉窦血栓形成(CVST)。我们强调了小儿年龄组出现这种并发症的可能性,并讨论了这种罕见现象的治疗方法。
