The pulmonary bullae are congenital or acquired disorders, which can be disrupted and/or even be associated with other lung diseases, resulting in respiratory distress to the patient. In this report we describe the radiographic and tomographic techniques as diagnostic methods of pulmonary bullae in a dog with pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum caused by rupture of these structures.

The present article reports the case of a 14-year-old male patient who developed acute chest pain following increased vocal effort during a soccer game. Chest radiography and computed tomography demonstrated pneudomediastinum with small bilateral pneumothorax. Clinical, laboratory and radiological studies did not demonstrate any predisposing factor, and the case was classified as spontaneous pneudomediastinum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SP) results from nontraumatic mediastinal air leakage. It is uncommon in children requiring a high index of suspicion.Case Report: A 17-year-old tall thin boy, light smoker, with no history of trauma or lung disease presented to our emergency room with symptoms dominated by chest pain and mild dyspnea. He reported a violent cough event in the previous hours. Pneumomediastinum was suspected considering the presence of subcutaneous air in the supraclavicular region, and was confirmed by chest radiograph, which showed mediastinal air. Serology study was positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae and therefore a macrolide was added to symptomatic treatment, with a complete recovery.Discussion/Conclusion: SP is a diagnosis to consider when facing an adolescent with acute chest pain. This condition is possibly underdiagnosed, given its benign course and mild symptoms. Smoking acts as a predisposing factor. SP has only exceptionally been described in Mycoplasma infection., Introdução: O pneumomediastino espontâneo (PE) define-se pela presença de ar livre no mediastino, sem causa traumática. É raro em idade pediátrica e exige elevada suspeição diagnóstica.Caso Clínico: Adolescente de 17 anos, longilíneo, fumador ocasional, sem história traumática nem patologia pulmonar, observado na Urgência por dor retrosternal intensa acompanhada por dispneia ligeira. Referência a acessos de tosse seca violenta horas antes. O diagnóstico de PE suspeitou-se pela palpação de enfisema subcutâneo supraclavicular e confirmou-se por telerradiografia do tórax mostrando ar livre mediastínico. A investigação revelou infeção por Mycoplasma pneumoniae pelo que foi medicado com macrólido para além do repouso e analgesia propostos para o PE, evoluindo favoravelmente.Discussão/Conclusões: O PE é um diagnóstico a não esquecer perante dor torácica aguda no adolescente. A presença de sintomas, por vezes, frustres e a evolução habitualmente benigna contribuem para um provável subdiagnóstico. O tabagismo é um fator predisponente. A associação a infeção por Mycoplasma pneumoniae só raramente foi descrita.

Resumo: O pneumomediastino espontâneo num recém-nascido (RN) de termo não submetido a ventilação mecânica ou sem patologia pulmonar subjacente é uma entidade rara. A existência de septos internos e a tendência à loculação são particularidades do pneumomediastino neonatal. Os autores apresentam o caso clÃnico de um recém-nascido de termo, fruto de uma gravidez vigiada, com ecografias fetais normais, nascido de cesariana, sem necessidade de reanimação, que iniciou gemido e sinais de dificuldade respiratória à s 2 horas de vida. A radiografia do tórax efectuada em D2 mostrou imagem de hipertransparência adjacente ao bordo cardÃaco esquerdo e retroesternal e hipotransparência do lobo superior esquerdo. A tomografia axial computorizada torácica, realizada em D5, evidenciou pneumomediastino multiloculado com múltiplos septos internos.Os autores apresentam este caso pela sua raridade e aspectos imagiológicos especÃficosRev Port Pneumol 2010; XVI (1): 163-169 Abstract: Spontaneous pneumomediastinum in a term baby without assisted ventilation or known underlying pulmonary disease is uncommon. The authors present a case report of a term baby delivered by caesarean that developed mild respiratory distress after birth. The pulmonary X-ray on day 2 showed an abnormal gas lucency adjacent to the left cardiac border elevating thymic border indicative of pneumomediastinum. Our case demonstrates two unique features of neonatal pneumomediastinum â the presence of multiple internal septae and its tendency to loculate locally.The authors present this case for its rarity and the specific imagiological aspects.Rev Port Pneumol 2010; XVI (1): 163-169 Palavras-chave: Pneumomediastino multiloculado, diagnósticos diferenciais, Key-words: Loculated pneumomediastinum, diferential diagnostics

A male infant was born at 40 weeks of gestation by vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery. Mild respiratory distress with expiratory grunting and subcostal retraction was noted 1 hour after birth. Arterial oxygen saturation remained at more than 95% without the administration of supplemental oxygen. Chest radiography performed 6 hours after birth (Panel A) showed the spinnaker-sail sign, consisting of a large, wedge-shaped opacity extending from the right hemidiaphragm to the superior mediastinum (white arrows), representing thymic tissue displaced from its usual location by a collection of gas under pressure (black arrows). Axial computed tomography of the chest revealed air trapped between the pericardial sac and the thymus, confirming a diagnosis of anterior pneumomediastinum (Panel B, arrow). Named for its visual resemblance to the headsail of a boat, the spinnaker-sail sign occurs with a spontaneous anterior pneumomediastinum and usually resolves without specific treatment. After being observed for clinical and radiographic improvement for 3 weeks, the infant was discharged home in good condition.

The majority of foreign bodies found in the oesophagus seen atthe emergency department are usually promptly diagnosed and removed endoscopically without complications. ln some cases rarebut severe complications can arise.Take the case of a patient who visited the doctor with disphagiaafter swallowing a watch the previ ous month. The endoscopic extraction failed anda surgical approach was required. Later a serious pneumomediastnum was diagnosed and treated with surgery. A review has been made about the management of foreign bodies in the oesophagus and their complications. Habitualmente los cuerpos extraiios esofágicos en los servicios deurgencias son diagnosticados precozmente y se extraen endoscópicamente sin incidencias. En algunos casos se pueden producir complicaciones infrecuentes pero graves. Presentamos el caso de un paciente que consultó por disfagia tras ingerir un reloj de pulsera un mes antes, la extracción endoscópica resultó imposi ble de manera que se realizo apertura quirúrgica dei esófago. Posteriormente desarrolló un gran neumomediastino que fue tratado quirúrgicamente. Se realiza una revisión sobre el manejo de los cuerpos extraños esofágicos y sus complicaciones.
