Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) and Loculated pneumothorax (LPNX) are both generally rare clinical and radiological conditions associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). We report for the first time clinical data and radiological chest CT imaging of two patients affected by COVID-pneumonia associated with early radiological findings of SPM and LPNX. It has been suggested that a dysregulation of the immune response related to SARS-CoV-2, SARS-coV or MERS-CoV infection could lead to lung injury and the clinical and radiological findings typical of ARDS 2, 20 Most of the cases of SPM and PNX described in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and in those affected by SARS have some features in common, including the absence of smoking history 16, 19 .	./cache/cord-254668-szxhlejx.txt	./txt/cord-254668-szxhlejx.txt
