Abstract
The risk of thromboembolic pathologies increases in COVID-19 cases who have risk factors for poor prognosis and are prone to have a severe clinical course. Few cases of cerebral sinus vein thrombosis (CSVT) accompanying COVID-19 have been reported. We present a patient who developed CSVT during COVID-19 without a known risk factor for thrombosis but was found to have a genetic mutation of the prothrombin 20210 G/A gene, which is a congenital thrombophilia risk factor. We aim to emphasize the importance of investigating additional pathologies in thromboembolic events during COVID-19 in cases without known comorbidities.
