Abdominal imaging findings in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:This scoping review evaluated the currently available data related to abdominal imaging in the SARS-CoV-2 infection. METHOD:A systematic review of MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and Web of Science was performed from inception to July 15, 2020 using PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The review included case reports and series discussing radiologic manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection in abdominal imaging studies. Studies published from inception to March 31, 2020, were independently screened and reviewed by one author, and another author reviewed studies published after March 31 to July 15, 2020. Study screening and full-text review for publications before March 31, 2020, was performed by one author, and another author for publications after March 31 to July 15, 2020. RESULTS:Thirty-six studies were included in qualitative synthesis. The prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms is roughly 18% and includes loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Sixteen percent of COVID-19 cases may only present with gastrointestinal symptoms. Many patients presenting this way demonstrate evidence of COVID-19 incidentally through abdominal CT imaging at the lung bases. Studies published to date have also reported abdominal imaging findings including small and large bowel wall thickening, fluid-filled colon, pneumatosis intestinalis, pneumoperitoneum, intussusception, and ascites. CONCLUSION:Gastrointestinal manifestations and imaging manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection are increasingly reported and warrant specific attention during abdominal imaging.

Project description:Background This study provides a detailed imaging assessment in a large series of COVID-19 patients with neurological manifestations. Purpose To review the MRI findings associated with acute neurological manifestations in COVID-19 patients. Methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted between March 23 and May 7, 2020 at the Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital, a reference center for COVID-19 in the Paris area. Inclusion criteria were: adult patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection, presenting with acute neurological manifestations and referred for a brain MRI examination. Patients were excluded if they had a previous history of neurological disease. The characteristics and the frequency of different MRI features were investigated. The findings were analyzed separately in patients in intensive care units (ICU) and other departments (non-ICU). Results During the inclusion period, 1176 consecutive patients were hospitalized for suspected COVID-19. Out of 308 patients with acute neurological symptoms, 73 patients met the inclusion criteria (23.7%) and were included: 35 ICU patients (47.9%) and 38 non-ICU patients (52.1%). The mean age was 58.5 ± 15.6 years, with a male predominance (65.8% vs. 34.2%). Forty-three patients presented pathological MRI findings 2-4 weeks after symptom onset (58.9%), including 17 with acute ischemic infarct (23.3%), 1 with a deep venous thrombosis (1.4%), 8 with multiple microhemorrhages (11.3%), 22 with perfusion abnormalities (47.7%), 3 with restricted diffusion foci within the corpus callosum consistent with cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum (CLOCC, 4.1%). Multifocal white matter enhancing lesions were seen in 4 ICU patients (5%). Basal ganglia abnormalities were seen in 4 other patients (5%). The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis was negative for SARS-CoV-2 in all tested patients (n=39). Conclusion In addition to cerebrovascular lesions, perfusion abnormalities, CLOCC and ICU-related complications, we identified two patterns including white matter enhancing lesions and basal ganglia abnormalities that could be related to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
