Abstract

The first reports of severe acute respiratory symptoms from a novel coronavirus called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019.[SUP]1[/SUP] The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic by March 2020.[SUP]1[/SUP] The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a current global health emergency. Clinical information about the findings of COVID-19 and its associated complications are constantly evolving and becoming more widely available. Providers should be familiar with both typical symptoms and image study results for COVID-19 as well as less commonly reported complications of progressive COVID-19, such as spontaneous pneumomediastinum and spontaneous pneumothorax as highlighted in this case.

Keywords: COVID-19; Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum; Spontaneous Pneumothorax; coronavirus disease.
