Vasculitic Disorder

Background: Behçet disease (BD) is an autoimmune and vasculitic disorder. BD affects the veins more frequently than the arteries. The cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) was reported to occur in about 20% of neuro-BD. Huge dilemma exists in the treatment of CVST with BD, some of which were refractory to the standard therapy.Case Presentation: Here, we report a BD case with refractory intracranial hypertension caused by CVST which is successfully treated with catheter-directed endovascular thrombolysis. Before endovascular thrombolysis, intravenous pulse methylprednisolone combined with anticoagulant therapy was used, and resulted in limited effects.Conclusion: We conclude that catheter-directed thrombolysis may be considered for refractory CVST with BD, provided that coexistent pulmonary and cerebral artery aneurysms are ruled out.

Abstract Background: During Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, SARS CoV-2 infection has been documented to be associated with thrombotic complications, especially pulmonary embolism, which are triggered by virus binding to ACE-2 receptors and consequent activation of a cascade leading to a hypercoagulable pathway, however Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) is emerging as a further thrombotic complication of COVID-19.Case presentation: We report our experience of a patient affected by SARS CoV-2 infection, who presented to our emergency department with neurological symptoms such as confusion and headache and was diagnosed with CVST at imaging exams.Conclusion: As neurological symptoms such as confusion and headache are aspecific and shared with patients affected by SARS CoV-2 infection in absence of CVST, clinicians should be aware of this emerging hematologic complication in order to recognize it as soon as possible and provide the best patient care.
