Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that emerged in late 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of people worldwide, causing severe respiratory distress, multi-organ failure, and death. Nevertheless, there are records of unusual presentations of COVID-19, which includes hemorrhagic complications. Retroperitoneal hemorrhage (RPH) is a rare but life-threatening complication that can occur in COVID-19 patients. In this paper, we present a case of a life-threatening spontaneous retroperitoneal haemorrhage who has successfully undergone an exploratory laparotomy and made a full recovery. We would like to highlight the importance of close monitoring and prompt recognition in patients with increased risk of bleeding.
