Pneumomediastinum: Old Signs and New Signs
AJR. American journal of roentgenology, 1996Co-Authors: S M Bejvan, J D GodwinAbstract:Pneumomediastinum, also known as mediastinal emphysema, represents extraluminal gas in the mediastinum. Pneumomediastinum can lead to pneumothorax, Pneumopericardium, pneumoperitoneum, or pneumoretroperitoneum. There are many causes of pneumomediastinum (Table 1) and several radiographic signs: Pneumopericardium, continuous diaphragm sign, continuous left hemidiaphragm sign, Naclerio's V sign, V sign at confluence of brachiocephalic veins, ring-around-the-artery sign, thymic spinnaker-sail sign, and extrapleural air sign. We review the common and uncommon signs of pneumomediastinum and present some new signs. We also address the problem of distinguishing pneumomediastinum from pneumothorax and Pneumopericardium.

Pneumomediastinum and Pneumopericardium in an 11-year-old rugby player: a case report.
Journal of athletic training, 2013Co-Authors: Valentina Vanzo, Samuela Bugin, Deborah Snijders, Laura Bottecchia, Veronica Storer, Angelo BarbatoAbstract:Objective: Pneumomediastinum and Pneumopericardium are rare occurrences in young athletes, but they can result in potentially life-threatening consequences. Background: While involved in a rugby match, an 11-year-old boy received a chest compression by 3 players during a tackle. He continued to play, but 2 hours later, he developed sharp retrosternal chest pain. A chest radiograph and an echocardiograph at the nearest emergency department showed Pneumopericardium and pneumomediastinum. Differential Diagnosis: Sternal and rib contusions, rib fractures, heartburn, acute asthma exacerbation, pneumomediastinum, Pneumopericardium, pneumothorax, traumatic tracheal rupture, myocardial infarction, and costochondritis (Tietze syndrome). Treatment: Acetaminophen for pain control. Uniqueness: To our knowledge, this is the only case in the international literature of the simultaneous occurrence of pneumomediastinum and Pneumopericardium in a child as a consequence of blunt chest trauma during a rugby match. Conclusio...

Pneumopericardium: a rare complication following pericardiocentesis.
Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2019Co-Authors: Ajay Kumar Pandey, Sushil Kumar Singh, Vijayant Devenraj, Sarvesh Kumar, Vikas SinghAbstract:Pneumopericardium is the presence of air in the pericardial cavity. It is a rare case entity that has been reported most commonly after trauma, or spontaneously without any underlying cause in a healthy adult. Pneumopericardium following pericardiocentesis has been rarely reported in the literature. Pneumopericardium is often self-resolving and rarely requires a pericardial drain for treatment. We report a case of Pneumopericardium presented with tamponade physiology following pericardiocentesis for tubercular pericardial effusion, requiring emergency pericardiectomy.
