description | Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has posed an unparalleled challenge to the medical communities and patients worldwide. This is the third coronavirus pandemic of the decade and worst so far in terms of the number of patients affected and related deaths. Although COVID-19 is a systemic illness, the respiratory system is obvious to be involved first, and takes most of the brunt of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Common upper and lower respiratory presentations could be sore throat, consolidation, ground glass opacities, and acute respiratory distress syndrome in severe cases. Pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum are uncommon clinical findings in association with COVID-19. We hereby report a rare case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum with a synchronous pneumopericardium. |
