Abstract

COVID-19 is has been an emerging healthcare challenge during the last months. Herein we explain two cases with spontaneous pneumomediastinum as an atypical manifestation of COVID-19 disease; these two patients had confirmed COVID-19, leading to spontaneous pneumodeiastimun as an atypical manifestation during the course of hospital stay, presenting by abrupt deterioration in O2 saturation and symptoms. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum should be considered as a potential reason for the disease exacerbation in patients without previous history of mechanical ventilation.
