Abstract :Abstract:Spontaneous pneumomediastinum has been reported as a rare complication in COVID-19 pneumonia. Symptoms in pneumomediastinum are usually nonspecific. A 36-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with shortness of breath, cough, and left flank pain. His computed tomographic (CT) examination of the thorax showed pneumomediastinum. The patient was accepted as COVID-19 pneumonia and related pneumomediastinum. This case was presented to emphasize that patients with severe Covid-19 pneumonia on computed tomography may develop pneumomediastinum during treatment. Özet: COVID-19 pnömonisinde, spontan pnömomediastinum nadir gelişen bir komplikasyon olarak bildirilmiştir. Pnömomediastinumda semptomlar genellikle nonspesifiktir. Otuz altı yaşında erkek hasta nefes darlığı, öksürük, sol yan ağrısı ile kliniğimize kabul edildi. Takiplerinde çekilen Bilgisayarlı toraks tomografisinde mediastende hava dansiteleri izlendi. Hasta COVID-19 pnömonisi ve buna bağlı gelişen pnömomediastinum olarak kabul edildi. Bu olgu bilgisayarlı tomografide ağır Covid-19 pnömonisi olan hastalarda tedavi sırasında pnömomediastinum gelişebileceğini vurgulamak amacıyla sunulmuştur.
