Posterior Duodenal Perforation as COVID-19 Complication
Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is known for its respiratory symptoms, cough, and fever. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting are also observed in COVID-19. Gastrointestinal bleeding, peptic ulceration, and peptic ulcer perforation have also been reported in several COVID-19 cases. This paper describes a 76-year-old woman presented with dyspnea and generalized abdominal pain. According to symptoms and imaging results, peritonitis was considered, and an emergency laparotomy was performed for the patient. A posterior duodenal ulcer was detected during surgery. The patient died after two days of operation.
