Abstract
Several studies have been published concerning radiological findings in COVID-19 pneumonia. Spontaneous pneumothorax is one very rarely reported such finding. Spontaneous pneumothorax can develop in association with fibrotic changes occurring in the lungs, or with long-term positive-pressure intubation. In report we describe a case of a 27-year-old man who presented to the emergency department due to fever, who had no thoracic computed tomography (CT) findings at his first presentation, but who re-presented with spontaneous pneumothorax as the infection progressed.
Özet
COVID-19 pnömonisinde radyolojik bulgular ile ilgili birçok çalışma yayınlanmıştır. Bu bulgular içinde spontan pnömotoraks çok nadir bildirilenlerdendir. Spontan pnömotoraks, akciğerlerde meydana gelen fibrotik değişikliklere veya uzun süreli pozitif basınçlı entübasyona bağlı gelişebilir. Biz bu vaka sunumunda 27 yaşında erkek hastanın acil servise ateş şikâyeti ile başvurup, ilk başvurusunda toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi (Toraks BT) bulgusu olmayan, sonrasında enfeksiyonu progresyon gösterdikçe spontan pnömotoraks gelişerek tekrar başvuran bir olguyu sunduk.
