Spontaneous pneumomediastinum in a male adult with COVID-19 pneumonia

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare complication of viral pneumonia.

description Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare complication of viral pneumonia. Here we report a case of a 52 year old male who presented with a spontaneous pneumomediastinum in COVID-19 pneumonia, followed by a severe course of disease. We discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this association as well as its possible clinical implications as a marker of disease severity in COVID-19.
