Abstract

Recently spontaneous tension pneumomediastinum (PTM), pneumothorax (PT), and subcutaneous emphysema (SE) were reported as infrequent complications in COVID-19 patients. Early diagnosis and treatment could save the patients since these complications are related to poor prognosis and prolonged hospitalization. Here we report these complications in an Iranian patient.
