SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) disease is an infection caused by a new emerging coronavirus, the most common clinical manifestations include fever, dry cough, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, and myalgia, sometimes it may present with atypical manifestations such as spontaneous pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum that occur in a minority of patients. We report a case of spontaneous pneumopericardium in a 60-year-old male, without comorbidities or a history of trauma, with pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2.
