Pneumopericardium is the presence of gas in the pericardial sac. Its etiology includes chest trauma, iatrogenic causes, thoracic surgery, and mechanical ventilation, and it is mostly asymptomatic. However, pneumopericardium can also be fatal because it can cause cardiac tamponade. All surgeons dealing with thoracic trauma should be aware of this pathology. A case of a 30-year-old patient presenting with pneumopericardium due to blunt trauma who was evaluated in the emergency department at our hospital is presented.

“…Pneumopericardium is often asymptomatic. However, it can cause serious events, such as cardiac tamponade and can sometimes be confused with hemorrhagic shock in trauma patients [10]. Cardiac tamponade caused by pneumopericardium is reported to be associated with mechanical ventilation [12].…”

“…As no previous reports show the association between surgical emphysema, pneumomediastinum, pneumorrhachis and pneumopericardium after minor trauma with no identifiable injury, a tension pneumopericardium should be actively excluded in such presentations. Haemodynamic instability can develop rapidly and mistakenly be attributed to other factors, particularly in a traumatic presentation 7. ECG changes have also been reported in association with a pneumopericardium.…”
