“…Despite anticoagulation, the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with COVID-19 infection, especially PE and DVT, is interestingly increasing [ 8 ]. However, just a few upper extremity DVT cases were reported in patients with COVID-19 infection [ [9] , [10] , [11] ]. Furthermore, brachiocephalic vein thrombosis is a sporadic presentation, and to the best of our knowledge, no case has been previously reported in patients infected by the SARS-CoV-2.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has affected almost every country in the world resulting in severe morbidity, mortality and economic hardship, altering the landscape of healthcare forever. Its devastating and most frequent thoracic and cardiac manifestations have been well reported since the start of the pandemic. Its extra-thoracic manifestations are myriad and understanding them is critical in diagnosis and disease management. The role of radiology is growing in the second wave and second year of the pandemic as the multiorgan manifestations of COVID-19 continue to unfold. Musculoskeletal, neurologic and vascular disease processes account for a significant number of COVID-19 complications and understanding their frequency, clinical sequelae and imaging manifestations is vital in guiding management and improving overall survival. The authors aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiology of the virus along with a detailed and systematic imaging review of the extra-thoracic manifestation of COVID-19. In Part I, abdominal manifestations of COVID-19 in adults and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children will be reviewed. In Part II, manifestations of COVID-19 in the musculoskeletal, central nervous and vascular systems will be reviewed.

The COVID-19 pandemic (Corona Virus Diseas) was caused by a new beta coronavirus in early 2020, also called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). Predilection sites of virus entry are the lungs, intestines, blood vessels, kidney, and adipose tissue cells are the virus reservoir. The virus causes a violent reaction of inammatory cytokines - cytokine storm, activation of coagulation and formation of thrombin. The initial coagulopathy of COVID-19 is manifested by a pronounced disorder of D-dimer and brin/brinogen degradation products, while abnormalities in prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time and platelet count are relatively rare at the onset of the disease. Later, the phenomenon of thrombotic microangiopathy occurs, which is a consequence of inammation of the blood vessels endothelium. In severe cases of infection, thromboembolism or acute thrombosis of peripheral blood vessels may occur. The paper presents a case of a patient with COVID-19 infection in whom, in addition to the usual clinical picture of the disease with changes in lung parenchyma (bilateral pneumonia), thrombosis of the a. radialis and a. ulnaris of the left hand developed, and fteen days after the infection development, the development of gangrene of the distal articles II, III and IV of the nger occurs. In addition to therapy used according to the national guide to COVID-19, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) was used. The effect of this therapy was used to increase vascular permeability and create factors that affect angiogenesis and improve blood ow in the ischemic region. HBOT also affected the demarcation of necrotic from healthy tissue, and stimulated wound healing. After two sessions of HBOT treatment, there was a complete restitution of blood ow with full function of the left hand and all its ngers.
