COVID-19-Associated Pneumomediastinum: An Emerging Clinical Presentation
1Internal Medicine, Eastbourne District General Hospital, Eastbourne, GBR.
Abstract:
Recent publications have suggested an association between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonitis and pneumomediastinum. The association has been linked to the frequent use of mechanical ventilation in these patients; however, there have also been increasing reports of spontaneous pneumomediastinum in the absence of mechanical ventilation. These reports suggest a direct association between COVID-19 pneumonitis and increased alveolar fragility. In this report, we present a case of a spontaneous mediastinum in a 64-year-old male patient with COVID-19 without any history of mechanical ventilation.
