This review/prognostic article briefly shows the pandemic features of COVID-19, morphological changes in blood vessels in COVID-19, mainly related to endotheliitis and thrombosis of small vessel branches. Cases of COVID-19 complications occurring in the practice of maxillofacial surgeons are given. Regarding possible complications during invasive interventions on the head and neck, we believe it is possible to consider COVID-19 in the anamnesis of patients in the departments of maxillofacial surgery as a new risk factor, and in case of severe course and prognosis of possible complications, as a contraindication for manipulations in the head and neck area. |
