Material and Methods: A case of splenic infarction in a 74-year-old male patient who developed after Covid-19 was presented. Conclusion: Spleen infarction is a rare cause of acute abdomen secondary to an underlying hematological disease or trauma. Sometimes, a virus that progresses with a hematological disorder, such as covid-19, can cause this disease. The algorithm to be followed in the treatment should be an effective treatment for the underlying disease. Laparoscopic splenectomy can be performed safely if medical treatments do not improve.
