To the Editor.— Sturtz's case report and brief review of the literature on spontaneous mediastinal emphysema is interesting.1 However, he neglects to mention what is perhaps the most common cause of this condition in childhood—asthma. Indeed, reports of this complication have occurred over the past 130 years.2-4 Recognition of this fact often results in an understanding of the cause for the pneumomediastinum as well as tipping the clinician off to a possibly undiagnosed but readily treatable condition.

Summary: A 49-year-old man was diagnosed with pre-fibrotic myelofibrosis after acute left lower-limb ischemia requiring amputation and portal vein thrombosis. After surgery he developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with venous thromboembolism, successfully treated with argatroban followed by dabigatran. Our systematic review of the literature supports the use of dabigatran for suspected HIT.
