COVID-19 induced mesenteric venous infarction

Abstract

We present a rare case of mesenteric venous infarction in a 36-year-old man due to coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Although COVID-19 usually presents with respiratory disease, multi-system manifestations are increasingly reported. Coagulopathy manifestations are also reported on imaging, including in vascular thrombosis, embolus, and organ infarction. Because the clinical variables poorly predict or suspect coagulopathy and its complications, it is important to be aware of imaging manifestations of coagulopathy complications of COVID-19.
