Imaging spectrum of abdominal manifestations of COVID-19

Figure 9 Acute viral pancreatitis in a coronavirus disease 2019 patient presenting with abdominal pain. Non-contrast axial computed tomography image of the abdomen in a case of suspected viral pancreatitis (intravenous contrast could not be administered due to a history of renal parenchymal disease with elevated creatinine) is shown. The distal body and tail of pancreas reveal fuzzy margins with peri-pancreatic fat stranding (blue arrow). Thickening of the left anterior conal fascia is noted with a streak of fluid in the left retro-mesenteric plane (orange arrow). Elevated serum amylase and lipase levels, in conjunction with these imaging findings, were highly suggestive of a diagnosis of acute viral pancreatitis in a patient with coronavirus disease 2019 presenting with abdominal pain.
