RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: SARS-CoV-2 infection is a pandemic that continues to ravage the world, the list of its complications continues to grow longer every day. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a patient admitted to intensive care for cerebral thrombophlebitis revealing a SARS-CoV-2 infection. DISCUSSION: The inflammatory nature of SARS-CoV-2 infection exposes an increased risk of thrombosis.In this article, we will discuss its mechanism and the anticoagulant treatment modalities. CONCLUSION: Besides the typical clinical signs, SARS-CoV-2 infection can manifest as thromboembolic complications such as pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and less frequently cerebral thrombophlebitis.
