Abstract
Pneumopericardium is a rare medical condition that occurs following trauma, surgery, or other medical interventions. The presence of pneumopericardium after COVID-19 pneumonia has been reported in some cases, and it has been explained that most cases could be self-limited. Here, we describe a 51-year-old man afflicted by pneumopericardium with COVID-19 infection. The patient had pneumopericardium and massive pericardial effusions, necessitating surgical strategies such as pericardial windows. This case highlights the potential severity of COVID-19. We also suggest that cardiologists pay attention to the possibility of pneumopericardium in cases with COVID-19 infection. © 2023, Iranian Heart Association. All rights reserved.
