We report a case of a COVID-19 patient presenting fever, headache and dyspnea evolving with severe acute abdominal pain; contrasted 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 scarce.
