During the COVID-19 pandemic, acute respiratory failure, often associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome, required a broad differential diagnosis that demanded several therapeutic interventions. We present the case of a 41-year-old with COVID-19 who presented pneumothorax and pneumomediast...

Se presenta el caso de un hombre de 41 años, con COVID-19, quien presentó neumotórax espontáneo y neumomediastino. A pesar del tratamiento convencional, su condición empeoró, por la tos intensa. La inserción de un tubo torácico llevó a una mejoría inmediata. Las tomografías computarizadas de seguimiento mostraron resolución del neumotórax y del neumomediastino. Este caso subraya el riesgo potencialmente mortal del neumotórax y neumomediastino espontáneo en pacientes con la COVID-19, enfatizando el reconocimiento temprano para la prevención.Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia2025-03-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed articleArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://revistas.upch.edu.pe/index.php/RMH/article/view/549310.20453/rmh.v36i1.5493Revista Médica Herediana; Vol. 36 No. 1 (2025): Enero-Marzo; 50-56Revista Médica Herediana; Vol. 36 Núm. 1 (2025): Enero-Marzo; 50-56Revista Medica Herediana; v. 36 n. 1 (2025): Enero-Marzo; 50-561729-214X1018-130X10.20453/rmh.v36i1reponame:Revistas - Universidad Peruana Cayetano Herediainstname:Universidad Peruana Cayetano Herediainstacron:UPCHspahttps://revistas.upch.edu.pe/index.php/RMH/article/view/5493/6055https://revistas.upch.edu.pe/index.php/RMH/article/view/5493/6598Derechos de autor 2025 Johan Azañero-Haro, Liliana Chambi Perez, Alonso Sotohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistas.upch.edu.pe:article/54932025-08-18T08:42:22Z
