Spontan pnömomediastinum, COVID-19 hastalarýnda nadir görülen ve hayatý tehdit eden komplikasyonlardan biridir. Literatürde az sayýda COVID-19'a baðlý spontan pnömomediastinum bildirimi bulunmakla birlikte, bu olgular daha çok orta ve þiddetli derecede COVID-19 hastalýðý nedeni ile yoðun bakým ünitelerinde veya COVID-19 kliniklerinde bir süredir takip edilen hastalardýr. Burada, bilinen dahili hastalýðý olmayan asemptomatik bir COVID-19 hastasýnda geliþen spontan pnömomediastinum olgusunu sunduk.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Asemptomatik, COVID-19, pnömomediastinum.

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare and life-threatening complication in patients with COVID-19. Although there are a few reports of spontaneous pneumomediastinum related to COVID-19 in literature, most involve patients who have been followed up in intensive care units (ICUs) or COVID-19 clinics for a period due to mild to severe COVID-19 disease. We present here a case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum that developed in an asymptomatic COVID-19 patient with no medical history.

Keywords: Asymptomatic, COVID-19, pneumomediastinum.
