AbstractWe report on two cases of spontaneous pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium, in one case associated with pneumorrhachis, occurring in two children suffering from the novel influenza H1N1 virus infection. At the admission both children presented with fever, violent dry cough, dyspnea and tachypnea. Radiological studies showed sizeable pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium in both patients. One of the patients also a pneumorrachis. Children were initially treated by intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics, antipyretics and a cough sedative. Oral Oseltamivir (60 mg twice daily for 5 days) was administered after the diagnosis of influenza A (H1N1) virus infection. Patients’ clinical condition quickly improved and children were discharged with a partial resolution of their radiological findings. Although these conditions are usually self-limiting and without respiratory or systemic consequences, their prompt recognition in children with H1N1 influenza virus infection is essential to establish fast and adequate therapy mainly related to the control of cough and the commencement of antiviral treatment.

SummarySpontaneous pneumomediastinum is the presence of free air in the mediastinum without any identifiable etiology like trauma or invasive procedure. Thoracic pain is the major complaint. The symptom triad of thoracic pain, dyspnea and subcutaneous emphysema is typical.Here, we present a 13-year old young male who presented to the emergency room with a complaint of thoracic pain. Physical examination was unremarkable except for Hamman's sign. Detailed examinations including chest x-ray revealed pneumomediastinum. Our aim was to emphasize the importance of physical examination, particularly cardiac auscultation in patients presenting with thoracic pain. (Turk Arch Ped 2013; 48: 336-338)

Abstract Abstract Abstract: : :: : Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare disorder, usually benign and self-limited. It occurs in young people without an apparent cause or precipitating factor. Cervical symptoms exclusive, without subcutaneous emphysema are infrequent. We presente two cases that were evaluated in emergency room and the diagnosis was erroneous. The initial study included a neck and cervical X-ray film. Second lecture in radiology department detected prevertebral cervical air and the patients were posteriorly studied with neck and thorax CT and pneumomediastinum was confirmed. None pulmonary disorder was found. Pneumomediastinum phisiopathologhy and also aggressive clinic investigation in these patients are discussed.
