Abstract

pneumomediastinum (PM) occurs in approximately 0.1% of newborns but its incidence is underestimated
because it is often asymptomatic. PM generally has a benign course. Our knowledge of PM is insufficient,
and its management is mainly based on the best practice and experience of each hospital rather than
on evidence-based data.
