Pneumopericardium

There have been quite a few case reports in the last few years about pneumopericardium in the neonatal period, including the one by Yeh et al. which appeared in the October issue of Pediatrics,1 where they also reviewed the previous reports. The majority of the infants have had hyaline membrane disease and intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) with a bag or a respirator. Some have had IPPV with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Information regarding ventilatory therapy, viz., the type of respirator used, rate, inspiratory pressure, and inspiratory/ expiratory ratio is either not mentioned or very scanty.
