“…Subsequent case reports described COVID-19-associated pneumothorax with or without subcutaneous emphysema on the first day of diagnosis. [9][10][11] Our case series support the probability that pneumothorax happens in the setting of COVID-19 pneumonia resulting from advanced alveolar damage, and the bronchiolar distortion and narrowing caused by SARS-CoV-2 leading to pulmonary bullae formation. Moreover, the severe cough associated with viral infections increases the intrapulmonary pressure.…”

COVID-19 is a recent outbreak in China and rapidly spread worldwide. Lung consolidation is the most common radiologic finding of COVID-19 pneumonia. Pneumothorax has been rarely reported as a complication of severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Early recognition and management are detrimental to the outcome. We here report three cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection complicated by pneumothorax. In addition, we present a brief literature review.

“…Most of the reported cases of pneumothorax associated with COVID-19 lack traditional risk factors or underlying predisposing lung disease. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] To date, one case of COVID-19-associated spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax in COVID-19 has been described to the best of our knowledge. 12…”

A 50-year-old previously healthy male presented with fever and cough for seven days, positive for COVID-19, and was admitted to Hazm Meberik General Hospital and treated as a case of severe COVID-19 pneumonia. After improvement, he was transferred to a quarantine facility, and he later developed bilateral hemopneumothorax requiring bilateral chest tubes. Highresolution CT showed bilateral emphysematous bullous disease. Tuberculosis workup was negative, and alpha 1 anti-trypsin levels were normal. Repeated Chest X-ray showed improvement and chest tubes were removed. The patient was discharged with follow-up with the thoracic surgery clinic.
