ABSTRACT Patients infected with SARS-CoV2 show various manifestations consistent with the multiorgan impact of this virus in the system of the human being. However, pulmonary conditions are the most predominant: from slight ground glass infiltrates to severe involvement of pulmonary parenchyma. Pneumomediastinum is a rare expression that only occurs in 1% of patients. We present the case of a critically ill male patient with COVID-19 who develops pneumomediastinum without pneumothorax.
