Pneumorrhachis associated with bronchial asthma, subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum.
Pneumorrhachis is defined as the presence of air in the epidural space or subarachnoid space. The air may migrate along fascial planes from the posterior mediastinum, through the neural foramina, and into the epidural space. Pneumorrhachis is rare, and even more so in the paediatric population. Pneumorrhachis in itself usually is asymptomatic, does not tend to migrate and re...
متن کاملPneumomediastinum and Subcutaneous Emphysema Complicating Acute Exacerbation of Bronchial Asthma
Introduction Pneumomediastinum otherwise known as mediastinal emphysema refers to the presence of air within the mediastinum while subcutaneous emphysema refers to the presence of air in the subcutaneous tissue and this may involve the face, neck or trunk [1]. The term, pneumomediastinum, was introduced into medical literature by Hamman in 1939[2]. Both conditions are relatively uncommon but im...
متن کاملPneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous emphysema and pneumorrhachis as complications of common flu
BACKGROUND Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is an uncommon benign condition that is occasionally associated with subcutaneous emphysema and occasionally with pneumothorax, but is rarely associated with pneumorrhachis (air within the spinal epidural space). CASE REPORT We describe the case of a 20-year-old man and discuss a classification system of pneumorrhachis and its pathoanatomy, clinical an...
متن کاملRare case of pneumorrhachis, pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, and surgical emphysema secondary to bronchial asthma
Air localized within the spinal canal is called pneumorrhachis. In the case of pneumorrhachis, air can be present in the extradural, the intradural, or the subarachnoid space of the spinal canal. The air within the soft tissue of the posterior mediastinum may dissect along fascial planes, through the intervertebral neural foramina, and into the extradural or the subarachnoid space. Nontraumatic...

To cite: Moreira-Silva S, Urbano J, Rocha G, et al. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2015-213623 DESCRIPTION Pneumothorax complicates 1–6% of transbronchial biopsies whereas pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema are rare complications of this procedure. Pneumomediastinum is defined as an abnormal accumulation of air within the mediastinum. I...
