Core Tip Gastrointestinal and hepatic symptoms are a common clinical feature of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Moreover, a novel syndrome known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) associated with COVID-19 in children and adolescents has emerged. Among the most common presenting symptoms of MIS-C, we found gastrointestinal and hepatic involvement. As gastrointestinal and hepatic involvement might play a major role in the clinical spectrum and possible sequelae of this novel condition, physicians should not underestimate these clinical manifestations. Therefore, abdominal ultrasonography monitoring and long-term follow-up could be useful to evaluate this potential damage and the possible outcome of these patients.
