AI Article Synopsis
- Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is a serious condition that can result from infections, blood clotting issues, or trauma.
- The case highlighted involves CST and delayed ophthalmic vein thrombosis linked to a prior COVID-19 infection, confirmed through a facial CT scan.
- Doctors should consider a wide range of potential issues in patients with heightened blood clotting risks, as COVID-19 can lead to dangerous complications.
Article Abstract
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.
