Corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) usually causes multifocal
bilateral peripheral ground glass opacities and patchy
consolidations in subpleural location predominantly involving
lower lobe and posterior segments on computed tomography
(CT). Here, we present a rare mode of presentation
of COVID 19 with spontaneous pneumomediastinum and
spontaneous pneumothorax on CT. Only few cases of spontaneous
pnuemomediastinum and pneumothorax have been
reported in COVID-19 pneumonitis. This case highlights the
role of CT in the early diagnosis of pneumomediastinum and
pneumothorax in patients with COVID-19 Pneumonitis.
