摘要
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia was a recent worldwide outbreak. During chest computed tomography (CT) we may observe pulmonary parenchymal opacity, as sign of COVID-19. Very few have reported pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum as complications of severe COVID-19 pneumonia. We describe a 44-year-old male admitted to our department after the onset of sudden chest pain and high fever and evidence on computed tomography of spontaneous pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum, subsequently confirming COVID-19 pneumonia.
