Incidental Asymptomatic Splenic Infarct in a COVID-19 Patient
Copyright © 2021, Ghalib et al..
A high incidence of thromboembolic events and coagulation parameter abnormalities are seen in cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Both venous and arterial thrombosis, including arterial thrombosis in unusual sites, have been reported in COVID patients in recent literature. Herein, we report a case of a 67-year-old female patient with non-critical COVID-19 disease with an incidental finding of an asymptomatic splenic infarct. In the absence of a cardio-embolic source, we believe this was an arterial thromboembolic event in the splenic circulation. The duration and modality of anticoagulation of inpatient and ambulatory COVID patients remains a dynamic discussion. Our case adds the evidence of a clinically silent arterial thrombotic event in a non-critical COVID-19 patient which further emphasizes the need to address the strategies for diagnosis and management of thrombo-embolism to prevent potentially fatal complications.
