A 62-year-old Caucasian female patient presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and fever 1 day after administration of COVID-19 vaccine. Bloodwork revealed anaemia and thrombocytosis. Abdominal CT angiography showed a mural thrombus at the emergence of the coeliac trunk, hepatic and splenic arteries, and extensive thrombosis of the superior and inferior mesenteric veins, splenic and portal veins, and the inferior vena cava, extending to the left common iliac vein. The spleen displayed extensive areas of infarction. Aetiological investigation included assessment of congenital coagulation disorders and acquired causes with no relevant findings. Administration of COVID-19 vaccine was considered a possible cause of the extensive multifocal thrombosis. After reviewing relevant literature, it was considered that other causes of this event should be further investigated. Thrombosis associated with COVID-19 vaccine is rare and an aetiological relationship should only be considered in the appropriate context and after investigation of other, more frequent, causes.

“…Portal vein thrombosis is often an incidental finding [2]; however, complete acute portal venous thrombosis can lead to abdominal pain and ascites. Intestinal ischemia and necrosis are the most serious complications [3,4]. The prevalence of this complication is not known; however, cases are described in the literature [4][5][6].…”
