Imaging studies during hospitalization included: CTA of head (03-APR-2021) showing  subacute left frontal infarction in anterior left MCA distribution, CTA of head (04-APR-2021) showing dural venous sinus thrombosis within the right sigmoid sinus as well as within the distal aspect of the left transverse sinus measuring marginally extending into the sigmoid sinus, bilateral upper extremity Doppler ultrasound (04-APR-2021) showing occlusive and non-occlusive deep venous thrombosis in the bilateral upper extremities and occlusive superficial venous thrombosis within the bilateral cephalic veins.

The action taken with covid-19 vaccine ad26.cov2.s was not applicable. The patient died of  acute respiratory failure due to Covid-19 pneumonia and other complications including shock, metabolic acidosis, acute pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, dural venous sinus thrombosis, thrombocytopenia,  This report was serious (Death, Hospitalization Caused / Prolonged, and Other Medically Important Condition). This report is associated with product quality Number: 90000176348; Sender's Comments: V0: This case concerns a 39-year-old female who died during a complicated hospital course that included pneumonia due to COVID infection, acute respiratory failure, shock, metabolic acidosis, pulmonary embolism, Dural venous sinus and transverse thrombosis, upper extremity venous thrombosis and thrombocytopenia 29 days after receiving covid-19 vaccine ad26.cov2.s / 12 days after PCR-confirmed Covid-19 infection.   The patient has a history of diabetes, obesity, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension and decreased vision starting prior to vaccination. The subject was presented to the emergency department 13 days prior to vaccination with eyelid edema, chest pain and hypertension. At this time her platelet count was 366,000. She was hospitalized 4 days after vaccination for vision loss. A CT angiogram (CTA) of the head and MRI were unremarkable. She was hospitalized again 17 days after vaccination with symptoms of COVID infection and tested positive for COVID. She was readmitted again 23 days after vaccination / 6 days after Covid-19 infection with pneumonia and acute respiratory failure. Her course was complicated by acidosis, hypoxia, elevated D-Dimer with a peak value of 25,989 ng/ml and thrombocytopenia. CTA of the head and chest diagnosed dural venous sinus thrombosis, right sigmoid sinus and left transverse sinus thrombosis as well as pulmonary embolus.  She died after 6 days in hospital.  The death and reported events are most likely related to the patients underlying medical conditions and the complications associated with Covid-19 infection/Covid-19 pneumonia, and are considered inconsistent with a causal association to immunization, per the WHO causality classification for adverse events following immunization.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: PNEUMONIA DUE TO COVID
