Abstract:
Pneumatoceles are thin-walled, air or fluid-filled cysts within the lung parenchyma typically formed due to inflammation or bronchial injury from infectious and non-infectious etiologies. To our knowledge, there are only a handful of cases in the literature reporting complicated pneumatoceles as a result of acute respiratory distress without the use of positive-pressure ventilation. We present a unique case of a 34-year-old male who rapidly developed complicated pneumatoceles associated with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, without positive pressure ventilation, with complete resolution after conservative management.
