“…15,16,17 COVID-19 pneumonia has typical radiological signs in chest CT like unilateral or bilateral ground-glass opacities and consolidation with or without vascular enlargement, interlobular septal thickening, and air bronchogram sign. 18 In our study we found no specific involment in temporal bone. No typical CT findings and interestingly no effusion in mastoid cells or middle ear.…”

Objective: To investigate temporal bone findings in COVID-19 Design: Retrospective study Settings: Using the database of our tertiary pandemic hospital, patients with COVID-19 infection with a positive PCR test and temporal bone tomography imaging were evaluated. Participants: 42 PCR positive COVID-19 patients with temporal bone imaging. Main outcome measures: A grading system was created to evaluate effusion in the middle ear and mastoid air cells. Also any specific sign in temporal bone imaging. Results: Patients were divided into two groups according to their chest CT findings. Group 1 had specific chest CT findings and included 26 patients, group 2 had no findings in chest CT and included 16 patients. No obvious temporal bone involvement was observed in any of the patients. Temporal bone imaging findings were compared according to a grading system and there was no difference between the groups (p=0,50). Conclusion: The SARS-CoV-2 does not affect the temporal bone. There was no sign of effusion in mastoid air cells or the middle ear or any specific sign in the temporal bone in our study group.

“…By June 3, 2020, there were more than 6.2 million approved cases with COVID-19 and more than 370,000 COVID-19 related deaths worldwide [ 2 ]. Although the detection of viral RNA in nasopharyngeal swabs or tracheal aspirates by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the gold standard for diagnosis, chest computed tomography (CT) can provide valuable information about the diagnosis, disease severity and patients prognosis [ [3] , [4] , [5] ]. Although some of the COVID-19 patients are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, the mortality rate has been shown to be high in elderly patients and patients with comorbidity such as diabetes [ 6 ].…”

Highlights High PSS on chest CT is associated with poor outcomes in COVID-19 patients. Low PMA and PMI on chest CT is associated with poor outcomes in COVID-19. Late admission to the hospital is associated with poor outcomes in COVID-19. Diabetes and high fever at admission are associated with poor outcomes in COVID-19. Being > 65 years old is an independent risk factor for intubation in COVID-19.

Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 has high mortality rates. It has become a severe pandemic worldwide. Real-time PCR testing is still the gold standard test method for the definitive diagnosis of COVID-19 despite the possibility of false negatives. Radiological imaging methods, especially computed tomography (CT), are important assistant methods in the diagnosis and management of the disease. This review presents the role of CT in COVID-19 pneumonia, its diagnostic accuracy, thorax CT findings of the disease and differential diagnosis.
