Abstract

COVID-19 is a viral disease produced by SARS-CoV-2 that was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 2020. The pandemic has caused a great impact in several medical disciplines, including radiology. Radiologists have a fundamental role in identifying characteristic imaging findings of the COVID-19 disease. The studies regarding extra pulmonary findings of COVID-19 are relatively new. These findings include cardiac, thoracic and abdominal manifestations as a result of the pro-thrombotic state produced by the virus. Unexpected extrapulmonary imaging findings of COVID-19 patients from two different institutions are presented. In addition, we conducted a literature review of extra pulmonary manifestations and complications of this disease. The aim of this study is to provide information for an early recognition and optimal management of these complications.
