  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 Three cases of spontaneous pneumomediastinum with subcutaneous emphysema which arose as a complication following a severe asthmatic attack, are reported. This disease appears to be rare in this country and only a few reports are seen.

 Animal experimentations suggest that spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a development that follow after an attack of severe respiratory distress, so, patients showing subcutaneous emphysema after an asthmatic attack call for a careful physical examination. X-ray of the chest is indispensable.

 Conservative treatment is effective in most cases. However, cervical mediastinotomy with or without tracheotomy may be necessiated at times which could be a dramatic lifesaving measure in some cases.
