description COVID-19 is a novel viral infection with a wide variety of clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe respiratory illness. Laryngospasm is a spontaneous sustained closure of the laryngeal muscles leading to acute airway obstruction. We report a case of a 40-year-old male with a history of nephrolithiasis who underwent laparoscopic pyeloplasty and developed laryngospasm as a consequence of contracting COVID-19. The case was further complicated by the development of pneumothorax and pleural effusion during the postoperative period. The patient was managed with supplemental oxygen, antibiotics, antiviral therapy, and close monitoring. He recovered without any additional complications. This case highlights the potential initial clinical manifestation and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 infection in surgical patients.
