“…Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is rare in SARS-CoV-2 lung infection. Only 3 cases were reported to date [ 4 6 ]. It is characterized by the presence of air in the mediastinal structures with no apparent cause (trauma and iatrogenicity).…”

“…At the same time, scientific papers have illustrated the most common radiological features of the Covid-19 pneumonia: multifocal bilateral peripheral ground glass areas and subsegmental patchy consolidations with subpleural location and predominant involvement of lower lung lobes and posterior segments. In this context, among the different patterns and findings described, the presence of pneumomediastinum was rarely reported in literature, [1][2][3] and rarely considered in scientific debates. We herein report two cases of pneumomediastinum related to Covid-19 pneumonia, in patients who underwent chest-CT scan in our Hospital.…”

“…4 In cases of infection by SARS-CoV, pneumomediastinum may be related to damage and rupture of alveolar membrane caused by the virus. 3,5 Although pneumomediastinum is usually considered a self-limiting condition, with an unknown precise pathological mechanism, we wanted to describe this possible complication of Covid-19 pneumonia, that may be considered a potential indicator of worsening disease. 1…”

“…Devant cette apparente discordance des résultats, nous avons réalisé une recherche sur Medline avec les mots-clés : COVID-19 (ou coronavirus 2019, ou SARS-CoV-2) et pneumomediastinum (ou mediastinal emphysema). Notre recherche a permis de retrouver 7 rapports de cas de PMS [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] était associé aux images habituelles du COVID-19 (opacités interstitielles en verre dépoli associées, le plus souvent secondairement, à des opacités alvéolaires, avec une prédominance dans les lobes inférieurs). Chez la patiente asymptomatique, les opacités étaient minimes (petites opacités en verre dépoli à la base du lobe inférieur gauche, sans opacités alvéolaires).…”

“…Chez les patients atteints de COVID-19, les mécanismes exacts du PMS sont mal connus. Plusieurs auteurs [16,19,20] ont proposé différentes hypothèses : rupture alvéolaire provoquée par les lésions pulmonaires infectieuses et/ou inflammatoires de la pneumonie liée au COVID-19 et/ou par la toux, ou rupture de bulles d'emphysème sous-pleurales.…”
