Cerebral venous thrombosis secondary to hyperthyroidism: A case report

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT) is a rare form of Stroke characterized by thrombus formation in the cerebral veins. CVT is a result of various reasons among which the hyperthyroidism is not so frequently encountered. This is probably the first case report published from Nepal. The aim of this case report is to give the message that persistent severe headache in patient with hyperthyroidism can be the red flag and needs to be investigated further. We present a case of a 35 years old female who presented with complaints of severe headache and persistent in nature associated with vomiting since 5 days. She was a diagnosed subacute thryroiditis and under medicine from 1 month before presenting to us. Her Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) brain showed venous thrombosis within superior saggital sinus, left transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus. Her thyroid function test showed pretreatment T3 of 2.98 ng/ml T4 of 1.02 mg/ ml and TSH of 0.12 μIU/L. She was kept on anticoagulants and other supportive measures. The patient showed improving status with the conservative management.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience 15:29-31, 2018

Novel Coronavirus

Background: The most common symptom of the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is fever and dyspnea that leads to hypoxia in severe cases. Some COVID-19 patients experience neurological symptoms, including ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage. Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a hypercoagulable state, however, it has not been approved as a significant cause of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT). Case presentation: In this case report, we described CVT in an SCD patient who had COVID-19, as well. We reported a 32-year-old man with a history of sickle cell anemia presented with left hemiparesis, headache, and seizure. After evaluation of the patient, CVT accompanied by COVID-19 infection was diagnosed. He was treated with intravenous unsaturated heparin, antiepileptic drugs, and antiviral agents with a favorable outcome. Based on our knowledge, this is the first case study to describe an association between CVT and COVID-19 infection in a patient with SCD. Conclusion: During the recent pandemic, vaso-occlusive attacks in SCD patients can be evaluated for COVID-19 as an etiological factor.

Abstract Background The new coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has spread throughout most of the world. Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare thromboembolic disease that can present as an extrapulmonary complication in coronavirus disease 2019 infection. Case presentation We report the case of a Hispanic woman with Down syndrome who has coronavirus disease 2019 and presents as a complication extensive cerebral venous thrombosis. Conclusions Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare thromboembolic disease that can present as an extrapulmonary complication in coronavirus disease 2019 infection. In the absence of clinical and epidemiological data, it is important to carry out further investigation of the risk factors and pathophysiological causes related to the development of cerebrovascular thrombotic events in patients with Down syndrome with coronavirus disease 2019 infection.
