A Young COVID-19-Positive Male Patient Presented With Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli and Multiple Strokes

COVID-19 has been repeatedly related to a variety of extra-pulmonary manifestations since its emergence. COVID-19-positive patients have been shown to develop neurological deficits, deep venous thrombosis, acute kidney injury, acute hepatic injury, and myocarditis, among other conditions. The mechan...

description COVID-19 has been repeatedly related to a variety of extra-pulmonary manifestations since its emergence. COVID-19-positive patients have been shown to develop neurological deficits, deep venous thrombosis, acute kidney injury, acute hepatic injury, and myocarditis, among other conditions. The mechanism of some of these injuries remains unclear, but one factor that has been revealed is hypercoagulability. A hypercoagulable state, whether secondary to dysfunctional coagulation cascades or microvascular angiopathy, has been reported in the literature in COVID-19 patients. We present a case of a patient diagnosed with COVID-19 presented with venous thromboembolism and then shortly developed innumerable strokes.
