“…Вирусная инфекция (простой герпес, корь, цитомегаловирус) до повсеместного развития коронавирусной инфекции также относилась к редким причинам развития тромбоза кавернозного синуса [10]. В отечественной и зарубежной литературе за последние несколько лет опубликовано достаточно большое количество исследований, описывающих тромбоз кавернозного синуса как тяжёлое осложнение коронавирусной инфекции COVID-19 [11][12][13].…”

Relevance.Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a dangerous, life-threatening condition developing as a result of a blockage of the cavernous sinus by a blood clot. This pathology occurs extremely rarely, but carries a serious danger to life at any age. The information about cases of death from cavernous sinus thrombosis is few and sketchy in the special forensic medical literature. The purpose of the study was examination and differential diagnosis of the cause of the 35-year-old womans death. The materials for this study were based on the results of the forensic medical examination of the 35-year-old womans corpse. The results of the study were presented with an indication of all stages of treatment and observation of the patient. The development and progression of the disease, which eventually led to a fatal outcome, were described in stages. Conclusion. Based on the conducted research and the above material, it can be concluded about the cause of the death. Cavernous sinus thrombosis, as well as other cerebral sinus thrombosis, being a complication of the main, timely undiagnosed and untreated disease is a significant problem even in modern multidisciplinary medical institutions and often causes deaths in clinical practice.

Background The spectrum of COVID-19 infection-related neurological imaging findings in East Asian and Western populations has been well documented. In the Indian subcontinent, certain extracranial neurological imaging manifestations such as acute invasive fungal sinusitis were noted to occur with increasing frequency when compared to that reported in literature. This anomaly was more evident during the second wave of infection and since there is a paucity of literature documenting this change, we undertook this retrospective observational study. Results Patients with COVID-19 who underwent brain or spine imaging between 1st March 2020 and 31st May 2021 were assessed for inclusion. We considered cases with imaging done in 2020 as the 1st wave, and cases with imaging done in 2021 as the 2nd wave. In the first wave, the most common neuroimaging findings were ischemic stroke (82, 26.5%), acute invasive fungal sinusitis (34, 11%), dural venous sinus thrombosis (15, 4.9%), and brain hemorrhages (15, 4.9%). In the second wave, the most common were acute invasive fungal sinusitis (44, 21.9%), ischemic stroke (39, 19.4%), and noninvasive sinusitis (30, 14.9%). The second wave had significantly more cases of acute invasive fungal sinusitis (44, 21.9% vs. 34, 11%; p-value .001), noninvasive sinusitis, and orbital cellulitis when compared to the first wave. Conclusions While we had ischemic stroke, followed by acute invasive fungal sinusitis, dural venous sinus thrombosis, and brain hemorrhages as the most common neuroimaging findings in the first wave, the second wave was dominated by the extracranial complications of Mucormycosis, namely acute invasive fungal sinusitis.
