PNEUMOPERICARDIUM IN THE NEWBORN

THOMAS H. SHAWKER M.D., JOHN M. DENNIS M.D., and JOHN W. GAREIS M.D.

A case report of a newborn premature infant with hyaline membrane disease, pneumopericardium and cardiac tamponade is presented.

Pneumopericardium with cardiac tamponade in a newborn is a potentially lethal condition, and prompt recognition is necessary so that immediate treatment can be instituted.

A roentgenogram of the chest should be obtained on any newborn, especially one with hyaline membrane disease, who, while on a respirator, shows increased respiratory distress. If pneumopericardium is present, cardiac tamponade should be suspected.
