Abstract :Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare disease that develops due to alveolar rupture. Many cases with pneumomediastinum, related to Corona Virus Disease-19 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(COVID-19); have been reported so far, but most of these patients had severe disease and extensive parenchymal damage. Pneumomediastinum is fairly rare in COVID-19 with such a little lung infiltration. It is supposed to occur as a result of the increased intra-alveolar pressure induced by an excessive cough. Here, we present a patient with asthma with typical symptoms of COVID-19 on chest computerized tomography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CT); and focal ground-glass opacity and pneumomediastinum, which spontaneously regressed without cardiac or respiratory complications.
