case_images: According to these clinical and biological findings, a computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) was performed, which showed acute bilateral pulmonary embolism (Figure 1).
case_images: chest CT scan in coronal (A, B) axial (C, D) and lung parenchymal windows showing subpleural ground-glass opacities associated with multiple areas of consolidation as well as the presence of bilateral pneumothorax, (yellow arrows) pneumomediastinum, (red arrows); extensive bilateral subcutaneous emphysema (white arrows)

case_images: Chest computed tomography (CT) scan also revealed subpleural ground-glass opacities associated with multiple areas of consolidation suggestive of COVID-19 pneumonia as well as the presence of bilateral pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and extensive bilateral subcutaneous emphysema (Figure 2A, B, C, D).
case_images: a chest X-ray demonstrating a return to the lung wall on the left side and the persistence of pneumothorax on the right side (A) and control after re-drainage (B)

case_images: A chest X-ray (Figure 3A) showed the pneumothorax persistence on the right side. He benefited from a re-drainage by a drain of Joly 24 with X-ray control (Figure 3B).
