Abstract
Post-COVID syndrome and COVID-19 have been related to autonomic changes and the appearance of endothelial dysfunction. Current research has discovered vasculitis-like occurrences in patients previously without evidence of endothelial dysfunction or autoimmune states. Additionally, COVID-19 and post-COVID syndrome have been hypothesized to induce flares of vascular dysfunction. Here, we present a patient with a large hematoma of the right scalp following spontaneous superficial temporal artery hemorrhage after uncontrolled hypertension, tachycardia, and generalized weakness three months after COVID-19 infection. This patient’s bleed was successfully managed with a pressure bandage and did not require neurosurgical embolization; moreover, he had no prior hemorrhages or indications for vessel rupture. Our case study represents a patient with chronic changes in blood pressure and heart rate following a prior COVID-19 infection that led to a large superficial scalp hematoma over the right frontotemporal bone with active extravasation from the right superficial temporal artery.
