Bilateral pneumothorax is rarely seen and is a predictor of poor prognosis. We report a newborn presenting with bilateral pneumothorax whose diagnosis was cystic fibrosis with N1303K mutation on CFT...

متن کاملPrimary Spontaneous Bilateral Pneumothorax in a Neonate
Pneumothorax, though rare, is a recognized cause of respiratory distress in the immediate newborn period. It may occur spontaneously or secondary to various underlying lung diseases. Here we share our experience of a neonate with spontaneous pneumothorax with mild to moderate respiratory distress, who recovered completely with conservative management with an oxygen-enriched atmosphere and no su...
متن کاملPneumothorax and pulmonary interstitial emphysema in the newborn.
With the greatly increased interest in neonatal morbidity in recent years it is now realized that pneumothorax and pulmonary interstitial emphysema in the newborn period, for many years regarded as medical curiosities, are not uncommon. Indeed, Davis and Stevens (1930) demonstrated the presence of pneumothorax radiologically in 1% of 702 consecutive babies and Solis-Cohen and Bruck (1934) in ap...
متن کاملAssociation of pneumothorax and hypotension with intraventricular haemorrhage.
To test the hypothesis that acute hypotension resulting from pneumothorax would be associated with severe brain injury (grade 3 or 4 intraventricular haemorrhage), 67 very low birthweight (VLBW) infants of 32 weeks' gestation or less with respiratory distress syndrome and pneumothorax were studied. Thirty six had pneumothorax associated with systemic hypotension and 31 had pneumothorax with nor...
