COVID-19 mainly causes a lower respiratory tract illness, meaning there has been great interest in the chest and lung radiological findings seen during the course of the disease. Most of this interest has centred around the computed tomographic findings. Most commonly, computed tomographic images report ground-glass opacities but a less common finding, and potential complication associated with COVID-19, is pneumatocele formation. In this case series, we describe the presentation and management of three patients with large pneumatoceles that developed during the recovery phase of COVID-19. A conservative approach is most recommended, with surgical intervention reserved for complicated cases that cause cardiorespiratory compromise.
新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）主要引发下呼吸道疾病，这意味着人们对该疾病病程中胸部和肺部的放射学表现极为关注。这种关注大多集中在计算机断层扫描（CT）结果上。最常见的是，CT图像显示磨玻璃影，但气囊肿形成是一种较少见的表现，也是与COVID-19相关的潜在并发症。在本病例系列中，我们描述了3例在COVID-19康复期出现大气囊肿的患者的临床表现及治疗情况。最推荐采用保守治疗方法，手术干预仅适用于导致心肺功能不全的复杂病例。
