<h3>SUMMARY:</h3> There is growing evidence that Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has a neurotropic and neuroinvasive potential. In particular, neurologic complications associated with the infection by SARS-CoV-2 include strokes may result from dysregulated inflammatory response to infection. We report an atypical deep cerebral vein thrombosis complicated hemorrhagic venous infarction in patient positive for no risk factors thrombosis.
