Spontaneous pneumomediastinum in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis: a potentially hidden complication

L S Weathers et al. South Med J. 1995 Apr.

Abstract

A pediatric patient with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was found to have a pneumomediastinum and a small pneumothorax. Because some of the signs and symptoms of pneumomediastinum may be confused with those of the patient's primary disease process, this complication may be present more frequently than has been previously described.
