We report an unusual case of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT temporally associated with an otherwise asymptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. While coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with thrombotic events at different sites, most published cases report on symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. We are confident this was an otherwise asymptomatic infection as the patient reported no symptoms and molecular and serological testing was consistent with infection more than 3weeks in the past. We believe this is an important report as it adds to the existing literature on thrombotic events in patients with COVID. It may even inform discussion of COVID vaccines and CVT since our patient, as those reported in association with vaccines, also had thrombocytopenia on admission.
