Co-occurrence of pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum is rare in COVID-19 patients. Positive airway pressure therapy used to improve oxygenation may sometimes worsen clinical outcomes in some patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. In this case report, we describe an individual who was diagnosed with COVID-19 and developed bilateral pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum after initiating non-invasive positive airway pressure therapy.
