Abstract

Although the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has a wide variety of complications, one of the least common of these is pneumomediastinum. In pneumomediastinum, which is defined as the presence of free air in the mediastinum, clinically dyspnea, chest pain and subcutaneous emphysema are observed. Here, we present a case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum in a patient infected with COVID-19 without any risk factors.

Özet

Yeni Koronavirüs Hastalığı’nın (COVID-19) çok çeşitli komplikasyonları olmakla birlikte, bunlardan en az görülenlerden biri de pnömomediastinumdur. Mediastinumda serbest hava bulunması olarak tanımlanan pnömomediastinumda, klinik olarak nefes darlığı, göğüs ağrısı ve cilt altı amfizemi izlenir. Biz burada hiçbir risk faktörü olmadığı halde COVID-19 ile enfekte bir hastada gelişen spontan pnömomediastinum vakasını sunuyoruz.
