ABSTRACT

COVID-19 was first recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in December 2019 and declared a global pandemic in March 2020. Although COVID-19 primarily results in pulmonary symptoms, it is becoming apparent that it can lead to multisystemic manifestations. Liver damage with elevated AST and ALT is seen in patients with COVID-19. Although the etiology of liver damage is still debated, biliary damage is rarely seen. This case demonstrates a potential complication of COVID-19 in a previously healthy patient. The patient contracted COVID-19 in March 2020 and endured a complicated course including intubation, multiple readmissions, and chronic abdominal pain. He is now awaiting a liver transplant. Our case portrays biliary damage as an additional possible complication of COVID-19 and the importance of imaging in its diagnosis.
