Abstract

Background: Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) can cause many radiological manifestations on chest computed tomography (CT) scans. However, the occurrence of pneumomediastinum is rare in these patients. Accordingly, this study represents the rare cases encountered during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Case Presentation: This study focuses on describing three patients who attended our medical center during the COVID-19 epidemic showing pneumomediastinum on chest CT scans. Patients’ COVID-19 was confirmed after positive polymerase chain reaction tests. Finally, two of them were expired despite the efforts of the medical team.

Conclusion: Overall, the results of this study suggest the occurrence of pneumomediastinum on the CT scans of patients as a possible finding of COVID-19.
