In view of the lack of previous history of underlying lung disease and the normal CXR on presentation along with the exclusion of some of the common causes of secondary pneumothorax, we think that COVID-19 pneumonia and its complication induced cystic changes within the lung and lead to spontaneous pneumothorax. COVID-19 could be a probable cause of spontaneous pneumothorax secondary to cystic changes and bullae formation within the lung parenchyma and should be kept in mind when evaluating patients with COVID-19 and shortness of breath, but we need further studies on the association between and pathophysiology of the occurrence of infection and pneumothorax.
