Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease with a high asymptomatic incidence. Asymptomatic infections within a population will inevitably lead to diagnosis via unrelated medical imaging. We report the case of an asymptomatic patient undergoing a spine CT examination for trauma who was incidentally found to have lung abnormalities later confirmed to be COVID-19. We aim to familiarize neuroradiologists with the spectrum of COVID-19 pulmonary manifestations that are likely to be observed on neck and spine CT imaging.
新型冠状病毒病 2019（COVID-19）是一种具有高无症状发病率的传染病。人群中的无症状感染将不可避免地导致通过无关的医学影像学进行诊断。我们报告了一例因外伤行脊柱 CT 检查的无症状患者，后来偶然发现肺部异常，后确诊为 COVID-19。我们旨在使神经放射科医生熟悉 COVID-19 肺部表现的范围，这些表现可能在颈部和脊柱 CT 成像上观察到。
