Increased Risk

Abstract Introduction The increased risk for thromboembolism in hospitalized COVID-19 patients has been communicated extensively. The fact that home quarantined patients can develop pulmonary embolism, however, has so far not been reported. Furthermore, attention should be brought to psychotic developments in COVID-19 patients.Case Presentation We report a 46-year-old previously healthy patient with a mild course of COVID-19, who developed a massive pulmonary embolism with right heart strain while being home quarantined. He was hospitalized and anticoagulant therapy was started. Nine days after admission, the patient appeared increasingly psychotic and suffered from hallucinations as well as paranoid thoughts. After treatment with risperidone and valproate the patient’s condition improved. At a follow-up one month after discharge, he was completely recovered regarding the respiratory, cardiac and psychic situation.Conclusion SARS-CoV-2 infection cannot only increase the prevalence of thromboembolism in hospitalized patients, but also in outpatients. COVID-19 also increases the risk of developing psychiatric reactions.

Intimate Relation

Abstract A 57-year-old man presented to our facility with the diagnosis of a suprasellar mass and died on the 2nd post-admission day from a massive pulmonary embolism. At autopsy, the mass was diagnosed as craniophyarngioma. This case report and review of the literature suggest an intimate relation between brain tumors and thromboembolic complications as evidenced by the high incidence of this association, the frequent occurrence of coagulopathies in patients with brain tumors, and the prevalence of tumors in the suprasellar location. The specific mechanisms that may be at play are reviewed.

The Right

Cardiac angiosarcomas are rare malignant tumors, predominantly affecting the right heart with poor survival outcomes. The current mainstay of treatment consists of surgery with or without chemotherapy, but often yields limited results with local relapse or metastatic recurrence. This case report describes 2 patients with primary angiosarcoma located in the right atrium. One patient received neo-adjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy; both were scheduled for surgical resection. The course of disease is described followed by a comprehensive review of the literature.
