Abstract

The Coronavirus Pandemic began in China in December 2019. In a short time, this pandemic spread globally. This virus has been called the 2019 new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by the World Health Organization. The characteristic features/symptoms of Covid-19 are fever, cough, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, myalgia, sore throat, loss of smell and taste, diarrhoea, chest pain other possible symptoms. The characteristics features on Chest xray/CT chest are subpleural localized ground glass opacities and numerous irregular areas of consolidation in both lungs and especially in the lower lobes. Pneumothorax and Subcutaneous emphysemaremains a relatively rare sequelae indicating a rate of 1%. In this case report, we aim to present a case of Covid-19 positive patient with cough, high fever and breathlessness who later developed pneumothorax in the left hemithorax and subcutaneous emphysema. It should be kept in mind that in patients with Covid-19 pneumonia, pneumothorax secondary to lungparenchymal damage may occur. Mortality rates can be reduced in patients with early diagnosis and treatment.
