A full-term healthy neonate with respiratory distress
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 January 2018
Abstract
Pneumopericardium, defined as air in the pericardial cavity, is a rare condition with potentially severe complications and mortality. In the neonatal period, pneumopericardium is associated with prematurity, very low birth weight, and assisted ventilation. We report the occurrence of spontaneous pneumopericardium in a healthy full-term neonate who did not receive any supportive ventilation.
