COVID-19-associated arterial and venous thrombotic events are multifactorial in origin, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Intestinal ischemia due to thrombus is a rare manifestation of COVID infection. Here, we report the case of a patient who presented with fever, malaise, and diarrhea, and was found to be COVID-19 positive; his clinical course was further complicated by devastating thrombosis of the superior mesentery artery (SMA) associated with COVID-19 infection.
