Abstract
We presented an unusual case of iatrogenic esophageal perforation(EP)
following trans-esophageal echocardiography(TEE) in a patient with
COVID-19.Force applied during the intubation on an inflammatory and
fragile wall caused by COVID-19 probably represented the underlying
condition that contributed to the EP.Early diagnosis and urgent
treatment are essential for a favorable prognosis
Key words: COVID-19, esophageal perforation, echocardiography
COVID, transesophageal ultrasound
