description | Corona-virus infection that arose from China is now a global pandemic. It presents with a variety of pulmonary manifestations, most commonly in the form of ground glass pulmonary lesions and opacities. Less common manifestation such as pnuemothorax has been reported by some authors. In this study we report a 56-year-old man with Corona-virus disease presenting with tension pneumothorax, a rare and life-threatening complication of Corona-virus infection that has not been reported previously. In our case, after insertion of thoracostomy tube, the patient's symptoms improved. After about 1 year of Corona-virus pandemic, it still presents with some rare pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations, so, familiarity with these manifestations is important for a correct diagnosis and treatment. |
