Abstract

Introduction. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is relatively rare, but leads to the development of cerebral venous infarction, intracranial hemorrhage, followed by severe disability and death. Due to the epidemiological situation caused by COVID-19, the incidence of CVT is increasing.Aims and objectives: to analyze clinical, laboratory instrumental and neuroimaging (multislice computed tomography (MSCT), MSCT — with intravenous contrast, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain (MRI) and MRI venography) data that confirmed the development of CVT in patients with COVID-19.Methods. Data of 5 young adults with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) associated with COVID-19 are presented.Results. Аmong 5 reported cases of COVID-19, two patients presented with venous infarcts (hemorrhagic and ischemic), 3 patients developed encephalopathy syndrome without acute cerebral infarction.Conclusion. Possibilities of modern imaging technologies permitted to timely diagnosis cerebral venous thrombosis associated with COVID-19, that can lead to immediate initiation of therapy and to prevent the development of cerebrovascular complications during the COVID-19 pandemic.
