Abstract

Pneumomediastinum, also referred to as mediastinal emphysema or Hamman's syndrome, is defined as the presence of air or gas within the fascial planes of the mediastinum. Superior extension of air into the cervicofacial subcutaneous space via communications between the mediastinum and cervical fascial planes or spaces occurs occasionally, Pneumomediastinum frequently results from blunt tracheobronchial lesions and esophageal injuries. However, in most cases, the origin of pneumomediastinum remains unclear. an some cases, it is attributed to the Macklin effect. We report a case of patient with pneumomediastinum, that presented with Macklin effect on chest computed tomographic scan.

Hamman 증후군으로 불리기도 하는 종격동기흉은 종격동의 근막내부에 공기가 존재하는 질환이다. 드물지 않게 종격동과 경부 근막 사이의 교통공간을 통해 공기의 확산이 발생할 수 있다. 이런 종격 동기홍의 원인은 기도-기관지 질환 및 식도손상이지만 대부분의 경우에 명확하지가 않다. 몇몇의 증례에서 Macklin효과가 원인으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 흉부 외상 후 발생한 종격동기흉의 원인으로 전산화단층촬영에서 확인된 Macklin효과의 증례가 있어 이를 보고하고자 한다.
