| description | The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The most common symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath (predominantly involving pulmonary function). However, there are lesser-known presentations that affect other systems too. Vascular complications have been reported in the literature focusing on venous thrombosis, which appears to be more common than arterial thrombosis. Among arterial thrombosis, mainly lower limb involvement is reported so far. Here, we report an unusual presentation in COVID-19, which presented with acute abdomen due to superior mesenteric artery thrombosis without respiratory symptoms. We report this case as a varied form of coronavirus complication presentation and highlight the need for eternal vigilance and a reactive approach for early diagnosis. |
