  • nonsurgical management of an enlarging Pneumatocele by fibrin sealant injection via pigtail catheter
    Pediatric Pulmonology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Tae Hyun Park
    Abstract:

    Most Pneumatoceles disappear spontaneously and do not cause severe symptoms. Treatment alternatives include various conventional or surgical methods. However, an enlarging, complicated Pneumatocele with cardiorespiratory instability requires imaging-guided catheter drainage or surgery. Here, we report the case of a newborn girl with an enlarging Pneumatocele accompanied by pulmonary interstitial emphysema secondary to mechanical ventilation. The Pneumatocele was successfully managed by the injection of fibrin sealant via a pigtail catheter.

  • multiple tension Pneumatocele due to necrotising pneumonia
    European Respiratory Journal, 2013
    Co-Authors: Serife Tuba Liman, Aykut Elicora, Asli Gul Akgul, Salih Topcu, Seymur Salih Mehmetoglu, Serkan Ozbay, Zeynep Seda Uyan
    Abstract:

    Introduction: Pneumatoceles are thin-walled cystic lesions of lung parenchyma. They may be developed after inflammation or injury. They regress after treatment of underlying disease. Necrotising pneumonia is one of the reasons. In childhood, pneumonia may cause Pneumatoceles. Tension Pneumatocele may be developed with respiratory and cardiovasculary collapse. Case: Four-year-old boy under treatment of stafilococcus aureus pneumonia was consulted us. Large air-filled multiple cystic lesions were detected compressing the lung. After a small catheter insertion in one of the cystic lesions, the patient got worse. Other cystic lesions were getting larger radiologically, tension was developed and lesions compressed heart also. A second catheter was inserted in the upper lesion. Respiratory symptoms were improved, mediastinal shift regressed. Discussion: Percutaneous decompression may be recommended for single symptomatic Pneumatoceles while resection is recommended for symptomatic ones. Because of higher mortality and morbidity rates with surgical management, we think that multiple attempts to percutaneous decompression can be successful and should be tried first.

  • Frontal Sinus Osteoma with Osteoblastoma-like Histology and Associated Intracranial Pneumatocele
    Head and Neck Pathology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Larisa M. Lehmer, Phillip Kissel, Bruce D. Ragsdale
    Abstract:

    Osteomas of the cranial sinuses are rare, benign bony tumors that can be complicated by the formation of an intracranial Pneumatocele. If not treated promptly, a Pneumatocele can lead to abscess formation, meningitis, or ventriculitis. In the present case, an intracerebral Pneumatocele was formed when an 18 cm(3) osteoma breached the posterior wall of the frontal sinus creating a one-way valve through which air could enter the intracranial cavity. The patient presented after forceful sneezing with nonspecific symptoms of headache, nausea, and vomiting. CT demonstrated a frontal collection of loculated air with mass effect within the left cerebral hemisphere. A partly mineralized mass occupied the left superior nasal ethmoid sinus and left frontal sinus. Of interest pathologically in this case, the tumor had a substantial osteoblastoma-like component. Surgical repair involved frontal craniotomy to remove the osteoma and debride frontal sinus mucosa, plugging the frontal nasal ducts and sinus with fat and bone wax, and dural restoration using an underwater closed drainage system to vent intracranial air and stabilize the patient.
