Abstract	Pneumorrhachis, also known as Epidural emphysema, is a rare condition characterised by intraspinal air or air in the epidural space as a result of traumatic, iatrogenic factors from surgery, anaesthesia, and diagnostic interventions, or as a result of non-traumatic incidents, such as forced coughing from bronchial asthma. Rarely, this condition is linked to Covid 19. A case of pneumomediastinum complicated by pneumorrhachis (PR) in an elderly man with a covid-positive diagnosis is presented here. Our study emphasises the significance of physician vigilance in cases of covid patients reporting lower back pain. Complications related to covid-induced pneumorrhachis can be reduced by prompt diagnosis and ventilation strategy.
