Figure 1:
- Chest posteroanterior view at presentation showing bilateral mainly
mid and lower zonal patchy airspace and ground glass opacities, highly
suggestive of COVID pneumonia.
- Portable antero-posterior view
of the chest three weeks after admission showing right sided tension
pneumothorax with collapsed right lung and leftward shift of trachea
and mediastinum.
- Portable antero-posterior view of the chest in the same day after
insertion of right sided chest tube showing almost complete expansion
of the right lung, significant reduction of right sided pneumothorax
and minimal surgical emphysema in the right lateral chest wall.
- Computed Tomography of the chest (CT chest) showing the right sided
chest tube in-situ, moderate right sided pneumothorax, mild right
sided pleural effusion and persistent bilateral ground glass opacities
and pneumonic consolidation due to COVID 19.
