COVID-19 Vaccine-Induced Cerebral Sinus Thrombosis: Coincidence vs. Cause?

Abstract: Patients who were vaccinated against COVID-19 have experienced thrombosis-thrombocytopenia syndrome and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). It is important to be aware of this potential side effect of the vaccine and to be able to recognize early clinical symptoms and signs of CVST.In this paper, we present two cases of COVID-19 vaccination-related CVST. The patients who suffered headaches and seizures were found to have CVST, which was treated with anticoagulation.

“…At that time CVST had been reported to have an increased association with another adenoviral vector COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca (a vaccine never distributed or approved in the United States); CVST had also been associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines but to a lesser extent. 10,11 The pause lasted 11 days but the concerns about this potentially lethal serious adverse event continued. In December of 2021, the CDC recommended that the mRNA vaccines be used as the preferred vaccines Description of Clinical Outcomes of Janssen's Ad26.COV2.S Prime and Single Boost for COVID-19 from Jan… Norton Healthcare Medical Journal against COVID-19 and in May of 2022 the US FDA limited the use of Ad26.COV2.S to those 18 years and older who were unwilling or unable to get an alternative COVID-19 vaccine.…”

“…It is possible that new variants could reduce the efficacy of existing vaccines [ 15 ]. In particular, the occurrence of unpredictable, potentially life-threatening adverse events has led to the unanticipated use of heterologous vaccination regimens [ 16 ].…”

“…We correlated this to our patient, who was in an outpatient setting, had no chronic illness or impaired coagulation profile, and was found to have great saphenous thrombosis pointing to COVID infection as the risk factor. Upon reviewing the literature, multiple cases of thrombosis related to COVID have been acknowledged, including DVT, PE, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, superior mesenteric artery, and venous thrombosis [ 9 ]. However, few cases have been reported of great saphenous vein thrombosis.…”
