Case report: Cervical arterial dissections in the setting of recent COVID-19 infection

COVID-19 infections may predispose patients to spontaneous cervical arterial dissections. Such patients can have variable neurologic presentations, though headaches and neck pain were common complaints. Most patients responded well to antithrombotic therapy, with improvement in symptoms and radiologic findings at follow-up. Clinicians should maintain a high degree of suspicion for cervical arterial dissections in patients who present acutely with severe headache/neck pain and/or new neurologic deficits in the setting of COVID-19 infections.
