Abstract

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is an uncommon entity in pediatrics. Its incidence ranges from 1 in 800 to 1 in 42.000 patients presenting at hospital emergency units. A four-year-old girl with the complaints of cough and dyspnea begining three days ago was reported in order to present a rare, self-limited emergency in children. Idiopathic spontaneous pneumomediastinum deserve more attention because of the concern about precipitating factors and complications.

Özet

Spontan pnömomediyastinum çocukluk çağında sık karşılaşılmayan bir durumdur. İnsidansı, acil servise başvuran hastalar içinde 1/800-1/42000 arasında değişmektedir. Üç gün önce başlayan öksürük ve solunum sıkıntısı yakınmaları ile başvuran dört yaşındaki kız hasta, çocuklarda nadir görülen ve kendisini sınırlayan acil bir durumun sunulması amacıyla bildirildi. Idiopatik spontan pnömomediyastinumlu olgular presipite edici faktörler ve komplikasyonlar yönüyle dikkatle izlenmelidir.
