Although COVID-19 patients are usually seen with respiratory system symptoms, these patients may also display different symptoms. COVID-19 has been associated with a variety of prothrombotic diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke. However, the pathogenesis of this hypercoagulation has not yet been fully clarified. In this report, we present a COVID-19 patient who was admitted with the complaint of weakness in both legs and was then diagnosed with aortoiliac occlusion.
