Spontaneous pneumomediastinum in children

Idiopathic spontaneous pneumomediastinum: an uncommon emergency in children

“…In all cases, an antecedent episode of either blunt thoracic trauma or a forceful valsalva maneuver is described. 1,5 In our cases, there is no history of associated cause for a SPM.…”

Management of spontaneous pneumomediastinum in children

“…accompanied by hoarseness or coughing [5,[7][8][9][10]12,13]. Most look completely well and have no fever and normal vital signs.…”

“…Chalumeau noted in 2001 that in children, "malignant spontaneous pneumomediastinum" is virtually always associated with severe concurrent respiratory disease and has not been reported for decades [2,10]. In addition, he advances that bronchoscopy, esophagoscopy, pulmonary function tests and other activities that involve forceful inspiration or increases in positive end expiratory pressure (playing a wind instrument, heavy lifting, sports) should be avoided in the recovery period [10].…”

Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum, Subcutaneous Emphysema, and Pneumoperitoneum in RT-PCR-Confirmed Measles: A Pediatric Case Report

“…The patient remained afebrile throughout, and the absence of leukocytosis or radiographic consolidation argued against bacterial superinfection. Resolution was achieved within three hospital days, consistent with the benign, self-limited course described in pediatric series of spontaneous pneumomediastinum [11,17,31,33].…”
