Underlying Pathology

In viral pneumonia, the incidence of subcutaneous emphysema and spontaneous pneumomediastinum are rare. But it can occur due to COVID-19 SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) corona infection. In this condition like COVID-19 disease the underlying pathology may be due to diffuse alveolar injury. High pressure levels in the alveoli can cause to the alveoli to rupture and ultimately to forms subcutaneous emphysema. We report one case of COVID-19 admitted in the hospital and later developed subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum without mechanical ventilation. He was managed conservatively without any intervention. 45 old male without co morbidities having post COVID-19 subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum developed without mechanical ventilation and he was managed conservatively without any surgical intervention. In COVID-19 viral pneumonia patients can develop subcutaneous emphysema without mechanical ventilation and should be careful for severe pneumomediastinum which can cause death. It can be managed conservatively in hemodynamic stable condition

Boerhaave Syndrome

<sec id="s1"> <title/> Boerhaave syndrome is a disorder mainly unknown among ambulance staff. However, the high mortality and morbidity rates associated with this rare disorder, and the fact that other conditions present with similar symptoms, suggest that this is one disorder to add to the differential diagnosis list. This case study describes a 17-year-old male complaining of left-sided ‘pressure’-type chest pain and persistent vomiting who on examination was found to have subcutaneous emphysema present. Deceived by a differential diagnosis, the patient was transferred under the belief that he had suffered a spontaneous pneumothorax as he was tall, young and thin. This case report reviews the literature surrounding Boerhaave syndrome and how it can present. </sec>
