Abstract
COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus. Although this virus mainly affects the respiratory system, however it can also affect other organs as a part of the thromboembolic complications. Mesenteric ischemia is among the rare complications related to COVID-19 described in the literature as a complication occurring during hospitalization for COVID-19 pneumonia but even more rarely as an indicative complication of coronavirus disease. We are reporting the cases of two patients admitted to the emergency room for intestinal obstruction due to mesenteric ischemia revealing a COVID-19 infection moreover we focus on early thrombosis especially among patients with comorbidities.
