ABSTRACT
Aim is to discuss diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties in COVID-19 related postoperative outcomes. A 5-year-old boy operated for jejunal atresia in neonatal period admitted with recurrent bilious vomiting. The upper GI series revealed dilated jejunum and absence of mechanical obstruction. The dilated jejunal segment was excised and anastomosis was performed. Later, he developed peritonitis without signs of anastomotic leaks. The second surgical exploration revealed diffuse peritonitis causing thickened and fibrous bowel loops causing hardly lysable adhesions. Then, his grandmother was learned to be COVID-PCR positive. Therefore, patients with atypical postoperative course should be investigated for possible COVID-19 during pandemics.
