Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is a life-threatening condition occurring due to an active infection, coagulation abnormalities, and trauma. Thromboembolic events are known complications secondary to novel coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) due to dysfunction in endothelial function and clotting factor dysfunction. We report a case of cavernous sinus thrombosis and delayed ophthalmic vein thrombosis associated with a preceding COVID-19 infection confirmed with a facial computed tomography (CT) scan. Clinicians should have a broad differential in patients with hypercoagulable states, as complications secondary to COVID-19 can be life-threatening.
海绵窦血栓形成（CST）是一种由活动性感染、凝血异常和创伤引起的危及生命的疾病。由于内皮功能障碍和凝血因子功能障碍，血栓栓塞事件是新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）的已知并发症。我们报告一例海绵窦血栓形成和延迟性眼静脉血栓形成，与先前经面部计算机断层扫描（CT）证实的COVID-19感染有关。临床医生对高凝状态患者应进行广泛的鉴别诊断，因为COVID-19继发的并发症可能危及生命。
