RESUMO
This narrative review covers the life-threatening thromboembolic events associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19. It addresses the physical changes that cause vascular and arterial damage to limbs, laboratory management of coagulation, and management of anticoagulation. COVID-19's relationship with deep venous thrombosis and arterial thrombosis is also emphasized. The main thromboembolic events described in the literature are illustrated with examples from our experience with COVID-19 patients.
Esta revisão narrativa abrange os eventos tromboembólicos com risco de vida associados a infecção por SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19. Aborda as mudanças físicas que causam danos vasculares e arteriais aos membros, o manejo laboratorial da coagulação e o manejo da anticoagulação. A relação de COVID-19 com trombose venosa profunda e trombose arterial também é enfatizada. Os principais eventos tromboembólicos descritos na literatura são ilustrados a partir de nossa experiência com pacientes COVID-19.
RESUMO
Hemangioma is a common tumor, normally diagnosed in children, and accounting for almost 10% of benign neoplasms. A hemangioma arising from the wall of a vessel is rare, and must be differentiated from other vascular malformations of the same origin. We report a rare case of a hemangioma arising from the wall of an external jugular vein and discuss diagnostic work-up and management.
