Abstract EN
The prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms of COVID-19 is variable with different types of presentations.
Some of them many present with manifestations mimicking surgical emergencies.
Yet, the pathophysiology of acute abdomen in the context of COVID-19 remains unclear.
We present a case of a previously healthy child who presented with acute appendicitis with multisystemic inflammatory syndrome.
We also highlight the necessity of considering the gastrointestinal symptoms of COVID-19 infection in pediatric patients in order to avoid misdiagnosis and further complications.
