Abstract
Primary spontaneous tension pneumothorax (STP) is a rare and life-threatening condition. We report a case of COVID-19-pneumonia patient who developed STP as a complication. He had a prolonged hospital stay and was ultimately discharged asymptomatic. A systematic literature search was performed to review studies (N=12) reporting STP in the setting of COVID-19.
Keywords: COVID‐19; SARS‐CoV‐2; coronavirus disease 2019; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; spontaneous pneumothorax; tension pneumothorax.
