Abstract

A neonate developed a tachypnea 2 hours after his birth. Blood measurements showed low infectious parameters and a respirator acidosis. The x-ray showed a pneumomediastinum. A spontaneous pneumomediastinum is rare in newborns, causes can be underlying lung diseases or mechanical ventilation. The treatment prognosis is good; spontaneous recovery without treatment is common.
