Delayed Pneumomediastinum and Subcutaneous Emphysema in Covid-19 Patients: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a severe respiratory disease initiated on December 2019. Genome sequence analysis shows that the pathogen is a complex beta-coronavirus RNA, known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax are rare clinical and radiological conditions associated with COVID-19. This study is case report of pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema in two patients with COVID-19, while investigating the clinical and paraclinical symptoms and the treatment process of two cases. Finding factors related to the severity of COVID-19 for improving the final outcome in patients is very important.

Pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema: A case report of rare presentations of foreign body aspiration
Background: Pneumomediastinum (PM) is caused by alveolar rapture. If air leak persists, subcutaneous emphysema occurs. The PM and subcutaneous emphysema have various etiologies. Common causes are respiratory tract infections and asthma exacerbations. Rarely, the PM occurs secondary to foreign body aspiration, and the life-threatening complications will occur without proper treatment. Case repo...

INTRODUCTION Subcutaneous emphysema or pneumomediastinum can occur as a complication of illicit drug use although this is rare. When occurring without a pneumothorax and spontaneously, it is usually treated conservatively, but can have serious consequences. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we present the case of an otherwise healthy 23-year-old Caucasian man who presented to the Emergency Department a...

A 34-year-old man was admitted with dyspnea, cough, and fever. Thorax computed tomography revealed ground glass opacities and pneumomediastinum. The patient was diagnosed as amyopathic dermatomyositis due to skin lesions and radiological findings. Despite immunosuppressive treatment clinical deterioration and radiological progression were observed and the patient died because of severe hypoxemi...
full textA Case of Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum with Subcutaneous Emphysema in Children
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is defined as free air or gas contained within the mediastinum, which almost invariably originates from the alveolar space or the conducting airways. It is rare in pediatric patients; however, occasional cases are reported to result from forced Valsalva's maneuver due to cough, emesis, a first attack of wheeze, or asthma exacerbations. We report the case of a 7-yea...
