The Possible Associaton Between Cerebral Venous Thrombosis and Covid-19 Infecton in A Patent Withsickle Cell Disease: A Case Report

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.
