Abstract
Introduction: COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which triggered a pandemic with major repercussions for the world's health systems. About half of patients experience gastrointestinal symptoms, but gastroparesis after SARS-CoV-2 infection is a rare and generally self-limiting condition. Objective: To describe a clinical case of gastroparesis after SARS-CoV-2 infection that required surgical intervention. Result: This is a rare condition, with few reports, generally self-limiting. There are no reports of other refractory conditions requiring surgical intervention. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a large number of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Because the virus has gastrointestinal tropism, doctors must be aware of possible clinical manifestations in these patients.
