Abstract

Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is a life-threatening condition occurring due to an active infection, coagulation abnormalities, and trauma. Thromboembolic events are known complications secondary to novel coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) due to dysfunction in endothelial function and clotting factor dysfunction. We report a case of cavernous sinus thrombosis and delayed ophthalmic vein thrombosis associated with a preceding COVID-19 infection confirmed with a facial computed tomography (CT) scan. Clinicians should have a broad differential in patients with hypercoagulable states, as complications secondary to COVID-19 can be life-threatening.
