Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, there is no case report or data published regarding COVID pneumonitis presenting initially as pneumothorax.There are 3 case reports published to-date (May 30, 2020) reporting secondary pneumothorax as complication in later stages of Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID-19 in non-ventilated patients. We present a case of COVID-19 disease presenting as tension pneumothorax after a week of symptoms and developing a second pneumothorax on the contralateral side post mechanical ventilation.
