Intestinal Ischemia as a Complication of COVID-19

Background: Extrapulmonary complications of COVID-19 including acute mesenteric ischemia are being increasingly reported and are a reason of poorer clinical outcome and increased inpatient mortality rate. Case: Here, we present a case of a young obese male who developed acute superior mesenteric art...

Case: Here, we present a case of a young obese male who developed acute superior mesenteric artery thrombosis as a result of COVID-19. Discussion: Some direct causes of mesenteric thrombosis in COVID-19 patients have been hypothesized. Furthermore, immobilization, endothelial injury, and increased prothrombotic factor production are proven causes of thromboembolism in COVID-19. Conclusion: Early detection and management of acute mesenteric ischemia in COVID-19 cases is crucial to improve the prognosis.Lamis K. AbufoolLabib S.
