According to these clinical and biological findings, a computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) was performed, which showed acute bilateral pulmonary embolism (Figure 1).
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)

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).

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).
