Massive emphysema subcutis, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and pneumoperitoneum as uncommon complication of covid-19 pneumonia, a rare case.
Аннотация
We should be aware of the uncommon presentation during the pandemic scenario of the Coronavrus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pneumoperitoneum, and massive emphysema subcutis are uncommon complications of COVID-19 Pneumonia. The presence of pneumomediastinum and massive emphysema subcutis were rarely reported in the literature. We present a 69-year-old man with COVID-19 Pneumonia with these complications who were managed conservatively and experienced spontaneous resolution of the complications two weeks later. He was admitted to the intensive care unit and was given a ventilator. Pneumonia, massive emphysema subcutis, pneumomediastinum, and pneumothorax are identified from chest X-ray. An Unenhanced thoraco-abdominal computed tomography Scan revealed the presence of a small pneumoperitoneum. However, a computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis did not show any evidence of bowel perforation. It is necessary to detect these complications earlier, so the management can reduce the associated morbidity and mortality.
