Abstract

Development of pneumothorax during the course of COVID-19 is very rare, and may occur secondary to severe pulmonary involvement causing alveolar damage in the parenchyma, or is seen as a complication of respiratory support. Until now, quite a few cases have been reported. Herein, we shared a case of spontaneous pneumothorax with persistent air leakage without any parenchymal or pleural involvement.
