尽管根据病毒细胞侵袭途径的特异性,已经假设内皮损伤与2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)相关的脑梗死有关,迄今尚无病例报告。我们在此报告了一名51岁的日本女性,她在感染COVID-19后一周出现颈部疼痛。计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像显示颈动脉和椎动脉发炎。超声检查显示多个皮瓣样结构,被认为是血栓。虽然病人没有脑梗塞,这可能是COVID-19患者血管损伤和血栓形成的重要病例.
Although endothelial damage has been hypothesized to be associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related cerebral infarction based on the specificity of the viral cellular invasion pathway, no case has been reported to date. We herein report a 51-year-old Japanese woman who presented with neck pain one week after COVID-19 infection. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed inflammation of the carotid and vertebral arteries. Ultrasonography revealed multiple flap-like structures that were assumed to be thrombi. Although the patient had no cerebral infarction, this could be an important case of vascular damage and thrombus formation in a COVID-19 patient.
