Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) is currently a pandemic. In addition to respiratory symptoms, involvement of other organs such as the pericardium is also seen. Pneumomediastinum in COVID-19 patients has rarely been reported. Isolated pneumopericardium without pneumomediastinum is even more uncommon. We described a case of COVID-19 in association with pneumopericardium. To the best of our knowledge, no case with isolated pneumopericardium has been reported thus far.
