Tension Pneumopericardium

Pneumopericardium may be defined as the presence of air within pericardial cavity which results due to spontaneous or iatrogenic cause. It is rare but life threatening entity, commonly caused by respiratory distress syndrome and vigorous resuscitation, in the paediatric population. Although, pneumopericardium is often asymptomatic, it may cause chest pain, dyspnoea and subcutaneous emphysema. The course of pneumopericardium is usually benign and self-limited. Treatment is crucial in tension pneumopericardium, a complication of pneumopericardium. Here, we report a case of pneumopericardium in a nine month old male child after vigorous resuscitation and intubation for respiratory distress syndrome.

Laryngeal Trauma

A 3-year-old boy had an unwitnessed fall from a highchair. The child had no loss of consciousness, vomiting, stridor or respiratory distress but within a few minutes had significant swelling in the neck, scalp and around the eyes. He was brought immediately to the emergency room where he deteriorated rapidly and was intubated with a cuffed oral endotracheal tube. A clinical diagnosis of blunt laryngeal trauma was made. Imaging showed no laryngeal disruption, but did reveal massive bilateral pneumothoraces, that were managed with chest tube. A multidisciplinary meeting with family led to a watchful waiting approach. The patient was successfully extubated at 1 week and healed with a clear voice.

Rapid Resolution

This case reports on a critically ill patient (Male, 74) with severe subcutaneous emphysema which progressed to causing respiratory distress. We document both the severity of the condition we observed and then present a novel intervention. In this case, we decompressed the patient at the intensive care unit-bedside and resolved the condition. While subcutaneous emphysema is relatively common, the severity of the condition we observed, and the lack of definitive treatment guidance have prompted us to present this case as a plausible treatment guide.
