SARS-CoV-2 infection-associated thoraco-abdomino-iliac thrombosis in a patient without cardiac and systemic co-morbidity

Acute pulmonary damage and vascular coagulopathy occur frequently in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection in relation to coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The inflammatory process accompanying the infection and excessive coagulation state is one of the most important causes of patient death. The COVID-19 pandemic remains a major challenge for healthcare systems and millions of patients worldwide. In this report, we present a complicated case of COVID-19 associated with lung disease and aortic thrombosis.
