Resumen
TARAZONA-GOMEZ, Jesús et al. Cerebral venous thrombosis associated with SARS-Cov-2 infection. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.1, pp.39-44. Epub 27-Abr-2022. ISSN 0120-8748. https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022398.
INTRODUCTION:
Venous sinus thrombosis is considered one of the most infrequent causes of cerebrovascular disease (CVD), prevalent in young people. It usually has an insidious onset which difficult its diagnosis and timely initiation of treatment and is associated with multiple risk factors including hypercoagulable states, as in those patients with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) infection.
CASE REPORT:
The following are 2 clinical cases of patients with neurological alterations, diplopia, and status epilepticus, in whom extensive venous thrombosis of infrequent location was documented through symptomatology and imaging studies, ruling out the main associated etiologies, with the only associated nexus: SARS-CoV-2 infection. Both patients received treatment with parenteral anticoagulation, responding successfully and were subsequently discharged with oral anticoagulation.
DISCUSSION:
It is essential to be aware of this disease associated with a high diagnostic suspicion given its varied clinical manifestations and its increasingly frequent association with COVID-19 infection.
