Pneumomediastinum after a transbronchial biopsy

M Naughton et al. Thorax. 1991 Aug.

Abstract

A pneumomediastinum occurred after a transbronchial biopsy in a woman with pulmonary fibrosis and was confirmed by computed tomography. Although pneumomediastinum has a pathogenesis similar to that of pneumothorax it has not been reported after transbronchial biopsy.
