Abstract

Primary spontaneous tension pneumothorax (STP) is a rare and life‐threatening condition. We report a case of COVID‐19‐pneumonia patient who developed STP as a complication. He had a prolonged hospital stay and was ultimately discharged asymptomatic. A systematic literature search was performed to review studies (N=12) reporting STP in the setting of COVID‐19.
