ABSTRACT

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused 34,161 721 confirmed cases and more than 1,016 986 deaths worldwide. Serious complications have been reported in certain patients, such as: acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumothorax, the latter with an incidence of 15% and a mortality rate of 33%, this in cases associated with barotrauma. Pneumothorax is mentioned as the presence of free air in the pleural space, it can occur during the different phases of the disease and can be related to underlying lung disease, barotrauma due to mechanical ventilation or severity of the disease. The diagnosis is made through the clinical combination of signs and symptoms as well as their confirmation by means of some diagnostic imaging method such as chest tomography. The characteristic and uncommon findings were the presence of pneumatoceles or bullae. A timely diagnosis and treatment must be carried out to reduce the mortality rate
