Cocaine-induced pneumopericardium.
A20-year-old man without past medical history was admitted for diffuse left-sided and retrosternal chest pain after he was “told and forced to swallow crystal rocks.” He denied any prior symptomatology and denied cough. In the emergency department, he had a normal physical examination and laboratory studies. The ECG, however, showed diffuse ST-segment elevations (Figure 1). He was admitted to t...
متن کامل[Pneumopericardium and pneumomediastinum in a diabetic and cocaine user patient].
Pneumopericardium and pneumomediastinum are uncommon and potentially serious conditions. In adults, most cases are iatrogenic in origin, caused by surgical or endoscopic procedures, or mechanical ventilation. A case related to coronary angioplasty has even been reported. Chest trauma, both open and closed, is another common cause. They have also been reported in connection with other less commo...
متن کاملInvasive Mucormycosis Induced Pneumopericardium: A Rare Cause of Pneumopericardium in an Immunocompromised Patient
Mucor and Rhizopus cause life-threatening infections primarily involving the lungs and sinuses, which disseminate very rapidly by necrosis and infarction of the contiguous tissues. We present a case of a 64-year-old African American posttransplant patient who presented with a productive cough and weight loss. He had a past surgical history of renal transplant for renal cell carcinoma and was on...
متن کاملTension Pneumopericardium after Pericardiocentesis.
Pneumopericardium is defined as the presence of air inside the pericardial space. Usually, it is reported as a complication of blunt or penetrating chest trauma, but rare iatrogenic and spontaneous cases have been reported. Pneumopericardium is relatively stable if it does not generate a tension effect on the heart. However, it may progress to tension pneumopericardium, which requires immediate...
متن کاملPneumopericardium complicating pneumothorax therapy.
While complete absence of the pericardium is a very rare abnormality, which is sometimes found during a post-mortem examination, we believe that partial deficiency resulting in a pleuropericardial communication is probably not quite as uncommon as the meagre literature on the subject would indicate. Powell in 1869 first recorded a case of partial deficiency of the pericardium. In 1925 Moore fou...
