Abstract

Pneumomediastinum
is the presence of air in the mediastinum. It can be divided into two as
spontaneous and skonder pneumomediastinum
.
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a self-limitting rare clinical entity with
good prognosis without an apparent cause. It occurs in young male patients most
frequently. It is a benign disease with symptoms such as chest pain, dyspnea,
coughing, odinophagia, subcutaneous emphysema, swelling of neck. Chest pain and
subcutaneous emphysema are most common symptoms. Most of the patients admit to
emergency department (ED) with chest pain. Plain chest radiogram is often
adequate for diagnosis but computarized tomography (CT) is golden standard.



We aimed to present the patient that admitted to ED
with chest pain, whose chest radiogram was clear but thorax CT was performed
because of clinical suspicion and diagnosed with pneumomediastinum.

HER GÖĞÜS AĞRISI KARDİYAK KÖKENLİMİDİR?

Abstract

Pnömodiastinum mediastende serbest hava bulunmasıdır.
Spontan ve sekonder pnömomediastinum olarak ikiye ayrılır. Spontan
pnömomediastinum presipite edici bir faktör olmaksızın gelişen iyi seyirli ve
kendini sınırlayıcı nadir görülen bir hastalık olarak tanımlanır. Genç erkek
hastalarda daha sık görülmektedir. Benign seyirli bir hastalık olup,
semptomları arasında göğüs ağrısı, dispne, öksürük, odinofaji, subkutan
amfizem, boyunda şişlik vardır. Semptomlardan göğüs ağrısı ve boyunda subkutan
amfizem en sik görülenidir. Hastaların çoğu ise acil kliniğine göğüs ağrısı
şikâyeti ile başvuruda bulunurlar. Genellikle göğüs direkt grafisi ile tanı
koyulsa da bilgisayarlı tomografi tanıda altın standarttır. 



Olgumuzda sadece göğüs ağrısı şikâyeti ile acil servise başvurup, akciğer
grafisinde patoloji tesbit edilmese de klinik şüphe doğrultusunda çekilen
toraks bilgisayarlı tomografide pnömomediastenium tesbit ettiğimiz hastayı
sunmayı hedefledik.
