Paraganglioma: An Unexpected Diagnosis in a Patient With Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis and SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is the complete or partial occlusion of the main venous sinuses or cortical veins. The most known risk factors are oral contraceptives, pregnancy, thrombophilias, malignancy and infections. The SARS-CoV-2 infection has been associated with a hypercoagulable st...

description Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is the complete or partial occlusion of the main venous sinuses or cortical veins. The most known risk factors are oral contraceptives, pregnancy, thrombophilias, malignancy and infections. The SARS-CoV-2 infection has been associated with a hypercoagulable state and there are some reported cases of CVST in SARS-CoV-2 patients. Although infection is one of the possible causes of CVST, it is important to rule out malignancy. We report a case of a 27-year-old male, with a recent SARS-CoV-2 infection, who went to the emergency department for a severe left occipital headache and was diagnosis with CVST. An etiological study revealed a retroperitoneal mass, compatible with a paraganglioma.
