Case report
A 68-year-old no smoking male patient with no past medical history, presented with epigastric pain and diarrhea since 4 days. In the physical examination he was febrile at 38.5°C and he has hypogastric tenderness. Blood test showed WBC 17 660/mL and C-reactive protein 125mg/l. A CT scan showed a thickening of the right colon wall and the last 30 cm of the small bowl associated (Fig 2-3) with an obstruction of the terminal segment of the ilio colic artery (Fig1). There were no other signs of ischemia. We decided to put the patient under medical treatment with unfractionned heparine. On the second day of his stay he developed a dry cough and the abdominal pain decreased. We performed a laparoscopy on the third day that showed a normal condition of the colon and the small bowl. With the appearance of respiratory signs and the pandemic context, we decided to perform a COVID-19 RT-PCR test to the patient. He tested positive. After 1 week of treatment, the patient is asymptomatic with soft abdomen and normal rate of WBC and C-reactive protein.
