RESUMEN

We report the case of a COVID-19 patient presenting with fever, headache and dyspnea, evolving with severe acute abdominal pain. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan diagnosed splenic infarction. We emphasize the importance of seeking the identification of complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection, notably thromboembolic events, with the potential to reduce the morbidity and mortality of the disease. Studies on radiological aspects involving the spleen and splenic infarctions associated with COVID-19 are rare.
