1. Describe the specific radiologic findings in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. 2. Differentiate between the normal results of a newborn chest radiograph and the radiographic patterns that reflect meconium aspiration. 3. Differentiate between the normal results of a newborn chest radiograph and the radiographic patterns that reflect pneumonia. 4. Distinguish between pulmonary disease an...

Abstract Neonatal pneumopericardium, a collection of air in the pericardial sac, is less common form leak syndrome, but unfortunately with high mortality rate. We report rare case male fullterm newborn who soon after birth presented respiratory distress. Chest radiograph showed spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax which chest drain was placed between anterior and midaxillary line 5 th right inter...

DOI: 10.1590/S1679-45082015AI3133 Pneumomediastinum in full-term newborn is associated with meconium aspiration syndrome, hyaline membrane disease, mechanical ventilation or traumas related with labor. The spontaneous neonatal pneunomediastinum is rare. We present imaging exams crucial for the diagnosis of a clinical case of pneumomediastinum in a newborn.(1,2) This is a radiology exam of a new...

BACKGROUND Pneumoperitoneum after cardiopulmonary resuscitation may be due to mediastinal air tracking into the peritoneal cavity via the diaphragmatic hiatus or to gastric perforation. CASE REPORT A 79-year-old woman received Advanced Cardiac Life Support measures in the intensive care unit. Chest compressions and endotracheal intubation were performed; a stable cardiac rhythm and perfusion ...

We report a case of a preterm neonate with isolated spontaneous pneumopericardium occurring in the absence of a history of neonatal resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, major lung disease or another air leak. The pneumopericardium was asymptomatic and resolved without the need for aspiration, although the "nitrogen washout" technique was used.

A man in his early twenties was admitted from the streets. He was hallucinating and incoherent. His vital signs were normal and there was no sign of injury. There was subcutaneous emphy-sema over the neck and anterior chest. The breath sounds were good and the heart sounds were audible. Chest X-ray showed extensive subcutaneous emphysema extending into the neck, but no pneumomediastinum or pneu...

Pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium following blunt chest trauma are rare. Diagnosis is by chest radiograph and CT Scan. They have to be identified and treated accordingly. Usually, pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium are self-limiting requiring no specific therapy. However, vigilance and a continuous monitoring of the vital signs are necessary.

Air leak syndrome manifesting as pneumomediastinum (PM), pneumothorax (PNX) or subcutaneous emphysema (SCE) has been reported in COVID-19 patients with increasing frequency and varying outcomes. We report a series of eight cases PM SCE from 1 April to May 31, 2021, among admitted our ICU. All the had severe hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2 ratio ≤100) were on noninvasive ventilation when air was detected e...

In-utero transmission of rubella virus during pregnancy leads to congenital Rubella syndrome (CRS), which is characterized by cataracts, deafness and sensorineural hearing loss. While the nuclear cataract is the most frequently occurring abnormality, basal ganglia calcification is a rarer manifestation. The Risk of fetal transmission of rubella virus is highest during the first 12 weeks of gest...

Background: The COVID 19 pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus – 2 has affected millions around the globe. It presents with a multisystem involvement, predominantly affecting respiratory system. Spontaneous Air leak syndrome which includes subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax been reported as one of complications COVID-19 pneumonia. Method: This...
