Abstract
Background:Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum (SP) is a rare complication that has not been reported in patients with coronavirus (COVID-19). In this report, we introduce a patient with coronavirus (COVID-19) with spontaneous Pneumomediastinum unrelated to aggressive ventilation.
Case presentation : A 39-year-old woman with coronavirus (COVID-19) with ARDS sign was admitted to the ICU of Babol Rouhani Hospital. She died four days after hospitalization with Pneumomediastinum with subcutaneous emphysema. According to chest x-ray and CT scan, the patient had spontaneous Pneumomediastinum prior to admission and aggressive ventilation.
Results: Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum can be a complication of acute respiratory syndrome in patients with coronavirus (COVID-19) with unclear pathogenesis.
