Spontaneous tension pneumothorax as a complication of Coronavirus disease 2019: Case report and literature review.

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. © 2022 The Authors. Clinical Case Reports published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
