Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has swept across all countries in the world within half a year, which is taking the world by surprise. We reported an elderly, severe, complicated COVID-19 case, describing the clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, CT findings, diagnosis, treatment and dynamic disease course. 3D post-processing technique was used to reconstruct different pulmonary lesions, and it was found to be useful for highlighting and observing them, thereby helping diagnose and distinguish different diseases.

Summary
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by World Health Organization (WHO)[1,2,3,4]. A 85-year-old woman who visited Wuhan 14 days ago developed cough, phlegm, and loss of appetite on February 5, 2020 By her own account, she had no special medical history. A pharyngeal swab was positive for novel coronavirus on realtime fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test, and she was diagnosed with severe COVID-19 due to low oxygen saturation (SPO2
