Highlights

  • We present cases: intracranial and extracranial large vessel occlusions, hemorrhagic strokes, and venous sinus thrombosis.

  • It is important to recognize possible neurovascular complications that can be seen in COVID-19 patients on imaging as early detection and management can contribute to effective response.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a clinical manifestation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. Hypercoagulable state has been described as one of the hallmarks of SARS-CoV-2 infection and has been reported to manifest as pulmonary embolisms, deep vein thrombosis, and arterial thrombosis of the abdominal small vessels. Here we present cases of arterial and venous thrombosis pertaining to the head and neck in COVID-19 patients.
