Post-COVID-19 Late Pulmonary Embolism in a Young Woman about a Case

COVID-19 appears to be associated with a disproportionate risk of thrombosis. The occurrence of thrombosis is a frequent complication of many medical and surgical conditions. Their prevention by LMWH is the option of choice as well as their early diagnosis in this pandemic context. In addition, several recent observations support that severe pulmonary embolism is very common in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. We report the case of late pulmonary embolism in a 26-year-old patient with a medical history of (SARS-CoV2) and newly discovered diabetes. The clinical examination found exertional dyspnea, intense chest pain, blood pressure at 145/85mmHg, heart rate at 129 bpm, respiratory rate at 25 cycles/min, blood sugar at 1.45 g/l, oxygen saturation at 92%. In front of this clinical picture, the thoracic CT angiography to ask shows a pulmonary embolism of the right segmental and sub-segmental branches less marked on the left, involving the lingular and basal branches; the management was limited to anticoagulation associated with rehabilitation sessions (respiratory physiotherapy).
