Aside from lung base ground glass opacities, the most common new imaging abnormality on abdominopelvic CT in patients with COVID-19 finding in our cohort was abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract, followed by small volume ascites, gallbladder distention, and isolated cases of pancreatitis and portal vein thrombosis. These findings overlap with those previously reported that did not have a prior scan for comparison, and provide supportive evidence that some of these findings may be related to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
