. Tension pneumothorax is an uncommon presentation in patients with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) or COVID-19 pneumonia. We present a case of tension pneumothorax in a patient with COVID-19 pneumonia and myocarditis. This was an unlikely diagnosis in a patient with no known underlying lung condition and no other precipitating factors such as barotrauma. In an acute deterioration of patients with SARS-CoV-2, it is important to always consider alternative diagnoses and repeat imaging.

张力性气胸在感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）或新冠肺炎的患者中并不常见。我们报告了一例新冠肺炎合并心肌炎患者发生张力性气胸的病例。对于一名无已知潜在肺部疾病且无气压伤等其他诱发因素的患者来说，这是一个不太可能的诊断。在SARS-CoV-2感染患者出现急性病情恶化时，始终考虑其他诊断并重复进行影像学检查很重要。
