cord-342451-yfy5jcw6	Rigamonti, Andrea	Cerebral venous thrombosis associated with coronavirus infection: an underestimated entity?	2020-06-29		.txt	text/plain	810	59	47	[5] described the spectrum of neurological manifestations associated with SARS-CoV-2; among central nervous system manifestations, large vessel ischemic stroke has been reported in 6 of 214 cases (2.8%). To date no cases of cerebral venous thrombosis associated with COVID-19 have been reported in the literature. Our patient did not present antecedent risk factors for cerebral vein thrombosis (i.e. malignancies, connective tissue disease, inflammatory bowel disease...) so we hypothesise that a pro-thrombotic state induced by COVID-19 infection was responsible for the development of such a condition. Over time, increasing evidence of neurologic manifestations of SARS-CoV-2-associated disease emerged. It is quite surprising that, despite relevant alterations in coagulation parameters of COVID patients, no cases of cerebral vein thrombosis have been reported till now. Our case suggests that in COVID patients with high Ddimer and fibrinogen levels that complain headache, seizure or focal deficits, a venous angio-CT should be performed in order to exclude cerebral vein thrombosis.	./cache/cord-342451-yfy5jcw6.txt	./txt/cord-342451-yfy5jcw6.txt
