After the outbreak of a novel coronavirus, millions of people have been affected and a significant percentage have died. In this report, we describe a young healthy patient with COVID-19 disease who progressed rapidly and had cerebral venous thrombosis without any known risk factors. The patient had classical high fever and cough complaints at the beginning. After 1 week, he needed mechanical ventilation, and due to his impaired consciousness, we performed a brain MRI, which detected cerebral venous thrombosis. It is known that COVID-19 causes thrombotic/thromboembolic events in several ways. Cerebrovascular involvement should be taken into account, especially in patients with COVID-19 who show some neurological symptoms, to start proper investigation and treatment.
