Key result
Contrast-enhanced CT imaging revealed the radiological findings of COVID-19-associated acute pericarditis without pneumonia in a 76-year-old female.
Why the study?
COVID-19-associated acute pericarditis is rare, and previously reported cases have not discussed imaging findings.

Highlights CT features of COVID-19 pericarditis without pneumonia; leaves open diagnostic utility pending larger studies.
Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19)-associated acute pericarditis is a rare complication. Several cases have been reported, but those reports have not discussed any imaging findings. Here, we report a case of a 76-year-old female diagnosed with COVID-19-associated pericarditis without pneumonia, and present image findings of the patient's contrast-enhanced CT.
