description COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. This enveloped RNA coronavirus primarily has tropism for the respiratory tract. However, it has also been shown to have various extrapulmonary manifestations such as pulmonary embolism, ischemic strokes, deep venous thrombosis, or arterial thrombosis. We present a case of a 34-year-old woman who had severe COVID-19 infection with no respiratory symptoms and developed strokes in multiple vascular territories and digital ischemia due to thrombosis formation in the brachial circulation of her arm despite receiving therapeutic anticoagulation.
