Abstract

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) predispose to both venous and arterial thrombotic events, especially in severe patients. There are reports of lowe risk patients whose courses are complicated by arterial thrombosis. We report the case of 53 year-old woman who presented  with severe acute respiratory syndrome due to COVID-19 with descending aortic thrombosis. The evolution was favorable under anticoagulant treatment.

Keywords:

COVID 19, aortic thrombosis, anticoagulant therapy.
