Abstract

The Covid-19 Coronavirus infectious pandemic started since December 2019. From the first reported cases in Wuhan in this date, the disease has spread so rapidly over the world that it was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. It caused mainly bilateral interstitial pneumonia in the patients. The heterogeneity of the course and clinical frameworks of the disease represents an important problem both for the acute phase and for the possible complications. Many typical imaging features of this disease were described. Now, we describe a case of an elderly Italian woman with obesity that had Covid-19 pneumonia, bilaterally, documented at Computed Tomography.
