Natasha Ahuja*, Yaron Perry

The COVID-19 pandemic has left our world in a state of disarray as patients have been suffering from recurrent pneumothoraces, acute liver failure, increase clotting risk, and conditions we are still learning about. We treated a patient who developed bilateral pneumothorces that ultimately worsened and lead to pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous emphysema, and pre-peritoneal free air. The best management of such cases remains unknown. Now more than 5 million COVID-19 cases globally, we should continue to report on the associated morbidity and potential treatment
