Abstract

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare and life- threatening complication in patients with COVID-19. Although there are a few reports of spontaneous pneumomediastinum related to COVID-19 in litera- ture, most involve patients who have been followed up in intensive care units (ICUs) or COVID-19 clinics for a period due to mild to severe COVID-19 disease. We present here a case of spontaneous pneumome- diastinum that developed in an asymptomatic COVID-19 patient with no medical history.

Özet

Spontan pnömomediastinum, COVID-19 hastaların- da nadir görülen ve hayatı tehdit eden komplikasyon- lardan biridir. Literatürde az sayıda COVID-19'a bağlı spontan pnömomediastinum bildirimi bulun- makla birlikte, bu olgular daha çok orta ve şiddetli derecede COVID-19 hastalığı nedeni ile yoğun ba- kım ünitelerinde veya COVID-19 kliniklerinde bir süredir takip edilen hastalardır. Burada, bilinen dahili hastalığı olmayan asemptomatik bir COVID-19 has- tasında gelişen spontan pnömomediastinum olgusu- nu sunduk
