pneumorrhachis Subcutaneous Emphysema pneumomediastinum pneumopericardium and pneumoretroperitoneum after proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis report of a case
Diseases of The Colon & Rectum, 2002Co-Authors: Luther H Holton, John Migaly, Rolando H RolandelliAbstract:This article presents the first known case of pneumorrhachis (spinal air), pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium, pneumoretroperitoneum, and Subcutaneous Emphysema after proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis. We review the patient's medical history, clinical and laboratory findings, radiographic data, and operative records, as well as the relevant literature. We describe the case of a young male with ulcerative colitis who developed pneumorrhachis, Subcutaneous Emphysema, pneumoretroperitoneum, pneumomediastinum, and pneumopericardium after a proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Unlike the case we report, previously described episodes of pneumomediastinum and Subcutaneous Emphysema in patients with ulcerative colitis developed before operative intervention. We offer possible explanations for these unusual complications based on analysis of this case and thorough review of the literature.

diffuse Subcutaneous Emphysema pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax after dental extraction
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1993Co-Authors: Deborah Shackelford, Julie Ann P CasaniAbstract:Subcutaneous Emphysema, pneumomediastinum, and pneumothorax may result from surgical procedures and trauma and usually do not present a diagnostic dilemma. We present a case of Subcutaneous Emphysema, pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, and pneumoretroperitoneum after a dental procedure with an air-and-water-cooled turbine burrdrill. This allowed air and water under pressure to be driven into the field and track through the fascial planes. Although this is a common occurrence, these patients frequently go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as allergic reactions to locally administered anesthetic agents. If a large amount of air is injected, it may track into not only the Subcutaneous tissues but also the mediastinum, pleural space, and retroperitoneal space. Patients with significant amounts of air must be admitted, observed for airway compromise, and be provided IV antibiotics and hydration.

Subcutaneous Emphysema pneumomediastinum and potentially life threatening tension pneumothorax pulmonary complications from arthroscopic shoulder decompression
Chest, 1992Co-Authors: Hingchung Lee, Naresh A Dewan, Lijnn CrosbyAbstract:Subcutaneous Emphysema, pneumomediastinum, and tension pneumothorax are previously unreported complications of shoulder arthroscopy with subacromial decompression. Three patients developed extensive Subcutaneous Emphysema, pneumomediastinum, and bilateral tension pneumothorax during or immediately after shoulder arthroscopy with subacromial decompression. The procedure was terminated and appropriate treatment was given. All three patients recovered completely with no residual damage. The complications are thought to be associated with the extravasation of air that may be drawn in from the lateral portal when the arthroscopic infusion pump and power shaver with suction are turned on. Early diagnosis, followed by immediate termination of the infusion pump and suction shaver along with appropriate treatment can be life-saving.

bilateral pneumothoraces pneumomediastinum pneumoperitoneum pneumoretroperitoneum and Subcutaneous Emphysema after percutaneous tracheostomy a case report
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012Co-Authors: Won Ho Kim, Byoung Ho KimAbstract:We report a rare case of a 72-year-old female who developed extensive Subcutaneous Emphysema, bilateral pneumothoraces, pneumomediastinum, pneumoperitoneum, and pneumoretroperitoneum after a percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy. The patient's T-cannula was accidentally connected to the oxygen line with a non-perforated connector. The patient rapidly developed respiratory insufficiency and Subcutaneous Emphysema in the neck and both shoulders. The bilateral pneumothoraces were managed using a chest tube. CT scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis revealed an extensive distribution of air throughout the chest and abdomen. The patient was treated successfully with supportive care. This case illustrates the rare occurrence of air passing into multiple body compartments, highlighting the potentially serious complications of a tracheostomy and the importance of intensive care during the recovery period.
