Acute Abdomen Is a Rare Presentation of COVID-19 in the Absence of Respiratory Manifestations : A Case Report

Copyright © 2023, Mohamed et al..

Mild gastrointestinal symptoms and mild abdominal pain often occur in association with COVID-19. However, acute abdomen and severe abdominal pain warranting urgent surgical treatment are rare. Here we present the case of a 40-year-old man who presented with the clinical picture of a perforated duodenal ulcer. He was eventually found to have COVID-19 and was treated conservatively. In this report, we discuss his course of treatment and review the relevant literature.
