Air in All the Wrong Places

Benson S Hsu et al. Pediatr Emerg Care. 2017 Feb.

Abstract

Extraluminal air can occur through a wide variety of mechanisms. Often, the free air resides in isolated regions including the thorax, the peritoneum, or the mediastinum. We present a pediatric case where there was extensive extraluminal air simultaneously within several regions, one of which has never been reported in the literature.
