Abstract

The pneumopericardium following blunt chest trauma is exceedingly unusual. A patient was admitted to the emergency room after a motorcycle accident. Pneumopericardium and left pneumothorax were not detected on initial chest AP, but they were detected on chest computed tomograpy and resolved completely after chest tube insertion into the left pleural space.

흉부둔상에 의한 심막기종은 매우 드물다. 교통사고에 의해 응급실로 내원한 환자로 초기 흉부단순 촬영에서는 발견되지 않았으나, 흉부단층촬영상 좌측 기흉과 함께 심막기종이 발견되어 좌측 흉막에 관을 삽입한 후 해결된 경우가 있어 보고한다.
