Abdominal and gastrointestinal manifestations in COVID-19 patients: Is imaging useful?

Figure 5 A 73-year-old woman with abdominal pain. A: Contrast-enhanced portal-venous phase computed tomography image of the lower abdomen demonstrated gas distension of the sigma-rectum with evidence of multiple stools inside the lumen; free effusion was also appreciable around the colon; B: Contrast-enhanced portal-venous phase computed tomography image of the abdomen showed distention of the left bowel and hyperemic thickened walls (particularly affecting the mucosa) of the right colon with perivisceral fat suffusion; C: Coronal multiplanar reconstruction from contrast-enhanced computed tomography well demonstrated these findings.
