“…The subxiphoid approach is the standard technique to avoid complications. However, pericardiocentesis-related pneumopericardium is a rare complication that can occur in some cases; most likely due to a leaky drainage system or due to a pleuro-pericardial communication made during puncture [ 5 ]. In cases of hemodynamic worsening despite the evacuation of a pericardial effusion, iatrogenic pneumopericardium should be considered among differential diagnoses.…”

Pneumopericardium is the presence of air within the pericardial cavity. Though several etiologies and pathological mechanisms for this have been described, there is no clear consensus. Most resolve spontaneously, but others may develop severe complications such as cardiac tamponade which may lead to cardiorespiratory arrest. We report a rare case of a patient who developed a tension pneumopericardium requiring emergent aspiration following a therapeutic pericardiocentesis. Radiological and echocardiographic findings of this rare iatrogenic pneumopericardium are reviewed.

“…Esta condición tiene una característica clínica de taponamiento cardiaco y un diagnóstico diferencial es el neumotórax. Los pacientes prematuros con enfermedad de la membrana hialina que se sometieron a ventilación mecánica tienen mayor riesgo de padecer esta enfermedad; sin embargo existen informes sobre neumopericardio espontáneo en lactantes sanos y en aquellos que desarrollan bronquiolitis por virus sincitial respiratorio [12][13][14] .…”

Neumomediastino hipertensivo, ¿simulador de tamponade cardiaco? Reporte de caso y revisión de literatura

El neumomediastino espontáneo se refiere a la presencia de aire en el mediastino sin una causa evidente. Es una condición poco común que ocurre debido a la rotura alveolar como resultado del aumento de la presión intratorácica. Se ve comúnmente en hombres jóvenes, pacientes con trastornos asmáticos conocidos y enfermedades pulmonares. Divulgamos un caso raro de neumomediastino en un varón joven sano sin ninguna patología conocida asociado a neumonía grave por SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) que simuló tamponade cardiaco.
