description Key Clinical Message Recently spontaneous tension pneumomediastinum (STM), were reported as infrequent complications in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) patients but pneumothorax (PT), and subcutaneous emphysema (SE) are more frequently seen in COVID‐19 patients. PT and SE may present after PTM in COVID‐19. The aim of this presentation is to show the complications of STM in an Iranian patients with COVID‐19 disease with PT and SE, who were hospitalized in Arya hospital, Rasht, Iran. For 3 months, we followed these patients and their condition was good. STM are uncommon complications in COVID‐19 patients and were reported frequently in male patients. Early diagnosis and treatment could save the patients as these complications are related to poor prognosis and prolonged hospitalization. Patients with mild COVID‐19 and mild pulmonary damage may have a favorable outcome.
