AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses rare complications related to COVID-19 pneumonia, known as "air leaks," which arise due to specific pathophysiological changes in the lungs.
- There's an ongoing debate about whether these complications should be classified as spontaneous or secondary, given that COVID-19 can quickly weaken lung structure.
- The case of a 36-year-old woman who developed pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema as a result of COVID-19 is presented to highlight and analyze these complexities.
Article Abstract
Several alterations that, due to their pathophysiology, are collectively classified as "air leaks", have been rare complications of COVID-19 pneumonia. In the context of infection by SARS-CoV-2, the debate arises as to whether these are classified as spontaneous or secondary, since the multiple mechanisms of pulmonary structural damage that COVID-19 entails condition lung fragility in a patient in short time. For the above, we presents the case of a 36-year-old female patient with COVID-19 complicated with pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema in order to illustrate and discuss these complications.
