As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, awareness of uncommon presentations of the disease increases. Such is the case with pneumomediastinum. Recent evidence has suggested that these can occur in the context of COVID19 pneumonia, even in the absence of mechanical ventilation-related barotrauma. We present a patient with COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by pneumomediastinum.
