More than 122 million cases of COVID-19 infection have been documented, and hundreds of thousands are being added every day. Several co-morbidities are associated with COVID-19, among which hypercoagulability has garnered the attention of many doctors and researchers. Most cases of vascular thrombosis are noted in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with serious disease; among these, many cases of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism have been noted. A few cases of portal vein thrombosis have also been documented in ICU patients with severe COVID-19. Here, we present a case of a portal vein and superior mesenteric vein thrombosis in a patient with subclinical COVID-19 infection. Through this case report, we intend to increase the research horizon and wish to help diagnose co-morbidities associated with COVID-19 at an earlier stage.
