A Rare Complication During Asthma Attack: Pneumomediastinum and Subcutaneous Emphysema
Öz
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare childhood pathology, and usually seen along with subcutaneous emphysema. The most common cause of spontaneous pneumomediastinum in childhood is asthma, lower respiratory tract infection being another, according to the literature. It is usually benign, and subsides spontaneously. However, patients may require invasive interventions. Subcutaneous emphysema was detected in a 5-year-old male patient who was admitted to a pediatric emergency service with the cause of asthma attack, and found to have irregular asthma treatment. A pneumomediastinum was detected by chest X-ray and thoracic tube was inserted and cuts were made under the skin and discharged by healing on the 12th day. Pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax should also be considered, especially in uncontrolled asthmatic cases where there is no good response to an exacerbation treatment.
