A 31-year-old non-smoking male patient admitted with and intubated for COVID-19 pneumonia experienced acute chest pain and dyspnea during his recovery period. He was diagnosed with a pneumothorax based on major bullae formation due to COVID-19. The bullae were not visible after extubation and developed rapidly within a few days.
