Patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease (CVD) have an increased risk of severe complications from novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). 4, 5 Here, we present the case of a patient with COVID-19 infection complicated with IMH who underwent emergency surgery. 7 Our COVID-19 patient without cardiovascular risk factors complicated by IMH could intriguingly indicate IMH as another potential COVID-19 major vascular complication; the devastating systemic inflammatory response to COVID-19 infection with the typical "cytokine storm" could likely represent the underlying mechanism of the aortic wall damage.
