In review of prior literature and proposed mechanisms, we believe that it was possibly the damage that SARS-CoV-2 inflicts upon lung parenchyma that led to the increased incidence of pneumomediastinum. Given our mixed findings of incidences of pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, and dialysis, our hope is to remain vigilant to uncover further disease associations and/or complications as more COVID-19 case data becomes available.
