Spinnaker Sail Sign Accompanied with Pneumopericardium and Pneumoperitoneum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Air-leak syndromes include pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, pneumopericardium, pneumoperitoneum, pulmonary interstitial emphysema and subcutaneous emphysema. Pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum occur in 1 to 2% of normal neonates and they usually has no symptoms and resolves spontaneously. Here we report sudden fatal pneumomediastinum accompanied with pneumopericardium and pneumoperitoneum in non-ventilated newborn.

Neonatal Pneumomediastinum, Spinnaker-Sail Sign: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Background: Pneumomediastinum (PM) occurring in approximately 0.1% of neonates is an asymptomatic accumulation of free air in the mediastinum. In this paper, we report on a preterm newborn experiencing a significant spontaneous pneumomediastinum subsequent to an uneventful vaginal delivery in the absence of resuscitation maneuvers. Case presentation:A-2560 g-ma...

Pneumopericardium, an accumulation of air in the pericardial cavity, occurs very rarely as compared to pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum. Clinical presentation is variable, patients are frequently asymptomatic, and mild cases usually resolve spontaneously. However, it may lead to pericardial tamponade, which requires rapid diagnosis and treatment that can be lifesaving. The traditional diagnos...

متن کاملNeonatal Pneumopericardium in a Nonventilated Term Infant: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Neonatal pneumopericardium (PPC) is a rare form of neonatal air leak syndrome with high morbidity and mortality. Air leak syndrome in the newborn is usually associated with active resuscitation, respiratory distress syndrome, meconium aspiration syndrome, mechanical ventilation, or trauma associated with labour. Neonatal PPC can be associated with other air leak syndromes such as pneumomediasti...
