espanolEl neumomediastino espontaneo idiopatico es la presencia de aire en el mediastino, sin ninguna causa aparente, siendo descrito en 1939 por el Dr. Hamman. Se atribuye a una fuga dinamica de aire desde los alveolos a traves del intersticio de personas jovenes (efecto Macklin). La clinica no es especifica, pero el dolor toracico agudo retroesternal y la tos, son los sintomas mas orientativos; los signos mas especificos son los crepitos precordiales (signo de Hamman) y el enfisema subcutaneo. La radiografia de torax es suficiente para el diagnostico,aunque otras tecnicas de imagen sirven para evaluar causas secundarias. El tratamiento es reposo, analgesicos y, opcionalmente, oxigeno suplementario. Se presenta el caso de un nino en edad escolar con neumomediastino espontaneo sin ningun desencadenante identificable, siendo el primer caso pediatrico colombiano reportado de esta variante.

It is attributed to a dynamic escape of air from the alveoli through the pulmonary interstice of young people (Macklin effect). The clinical symptoms are not specific, but acute retrosternal chest pain and cough are the most indicative symptoms; the most specific signs are precordial crepitus (Hamman’s sign) and subcutaneous emphysema. The chest X-ray is enough for the diagnosis; however, other imaging techniques are used to evaluate secondary causes. The treatment is rest, analgesics and, optionally, supplemental oxygen. There is presented the case of a school-age child with spontaneous pneumomediastinum without any identifiable trigger, being the first reported Colombian pediatric case of this variant.
