| Abstrakt: | An unresponsive patient with COVID-19 infection should prompt immediate evaluation with consideration of a vast differential diagnosis entailing a multitude of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the emergency department. We report a case of an unresponsive 41-year-old female with COVID-19 infection and a history of rheumatoid arthritis who presented to the emergency department with bilateral carotid artery dissections and left internal carotid artery thrombus that extended into the middle cerebral artery. This case calls into question if COVID-19 is coincidentally or causally associated with acute vascular and thromboembolic disease.
