HERBAS BERNAL, René Igoor; VASQUEZ ORTUNO, Maria Gabriela e TERRAZAS SALAZAR, Nataly Adriána. PNEUMOTORAX ASSOCIATED WITH SPONTANEOUS PNEUMOMEDIASTINUM SECONDARY TO SEVERE PNEUMONIA BY COVID-19: CASE REPORT. Rev Cient Cienc Méd [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.2, pp.148-152. Epub 31-Dez-2021.

Pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum are very rare complications that occur in the context of COVID-19, however it is even more rare for them to occur at the same time. We present the case of a patient infected with SARS-COV-2 with a history of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma under treatment. Chest CT revealed pneumothorax associated with pneumomediastinum, in addition to subcutaneous emphysema. As treatment, bilateral chest tubes were placed. Although pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum are considered self-limiting pathologies, in this case the patient died.
