Özet

COVID-19 has several clinical manifestations in the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system. Pneumothorax and myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) are two different clinical complications in COVID-19. However, pneumothorax and MINOCA have not been described yet in the same patient until now. A COVID-19 patient was admitted due to respiratory distress. He had pneumothorax and MINOCA. We report how we proceeded with diagnosis and treatment of pneumothorax and MINOCA. Respiratory and cardiovascular system manifestations of COVID-19 have made numerous clinical appearances. MINOCA and pneumothorax are rare clinical appearances, but they can be seen in COVID-19 as shown in our case.
