Higher rates of mechanical ventilation are reported in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with pneumomediastinum. <b>Case Description</b>  We report two cases of COVID-19 infected patients suffering from mild and severe SP and their outcome. <b>Discussion</b>  The objective of this report is to review the literature about this condition.
