For the third year after the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic (March 11, 2020), the main focus of research on the manifestations of this new coronavirus disease is pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Meanwhile, COVID-19 promotes the development of surgical lung diseases that require immediate surgical intervention. In particular, with COVID-19, the development of "spontaneous" pneumothorax is possible as a direct consequence of lung tissue damage by the SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 virus. This report presents case histories of four male and female (one individual) patients with so-called "spontaneous" pneumothorax, which appeared to be a direct complication of the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19. The author of the article also cites the possible causes of this complication in pneumonia (pneumonitis) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 virus, which, unlike pneumonia caused by influenza viruses and other previously known coronaviruses, directly affects the small arteries of the lungs, which leads to a violation nutrition and, as a result, to local necrosis of lung tissue. The localization of lung lesions plays a certain role in the occurrence of pneumothorax with this new coronavirus disease. Thus, this article will try to prove that the occurrence of pneumothorax with COVID-19 is a rare but completely natural complication of the new coronavirus disease SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19.
