ABSTRACT
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease is a multisystem disease and recent studies have shown an increase in reported thromboembolic complications as deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism (PE), stroke, and less frequently mesenteric artery thrombosis. We present a case of a 75-year-old woman, COVID-19 positive with five days of evolution, who was admitted to the emergency room due to diffuse abdominal pain with several days of progression, along with diarrhea and biliary vomit. Abdominal computed tomography presented images of subtraction of the lumen of the upper mesenteric artery. With the reported clinical case the authors intend to clarify the importance of differential diagnosis in patients with a typical severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV2) infection presentation. The gastrointestinal symptoms of SARS CoV2 infection can mask a more severe condition, so a high index suspicion for abdominal thromboembolic events is required once this complication may threaten patient's life.
