摘要
Pneumopericardium in the setting of COVID-19 is a rare incident. Typically, COVID-19 manifests with respiratory failure, cytokine storm, and gastrointestinal and cardiac symptoms. Chest X-ray (CXR) shows patchy peripheral opacities in bilateral lung fields and computed tomography (CT) shows multifocal ground-glass opacities in a COVID-19 patient. However, CXR is relatively less specific when compared to CT. In this case report, we present a case of isolated pneumopericardium (without pneumomediastinum) in a young female patient with COVID-19 pneumonia. Not only is the mechanism of development of pneumopericardium in COVID-19 patients poorly understood, but it is also considered a bad prognostic factor that leads to mortality.
