Abstract

Currently, lung ultrasound (LUS) is widely used worldwide for the diagnosing conditions such as neonatal pneumothorax (PTX) and pleural effusion, which are both common conditions during the neonatal period. However, the coexistence or simultaneous occurrence of both conditions, namely, hydropneumothorax, is relatively rare in clinical practice. Ultrasound enables a reliable diagnosis and can be used to guide and monitor appropriate treatment. In this case report, we describe a new ultrasound sign, the air-fluid point, which we propose as a specific sign for the diagnosis of neonatal hydropneumothorax.

病例报告：气液点：诊断新生儿气胸的特殊超声征象。

目前，肺超声（LUS）在世界范围内广泛用于诊断新生儿气胸（PTX）和胸腔积液等疾病，这两种疾病都是新生儿期常见的疾病。然而，两种情况并存或同时发生，即气胸积液，在临床上比较少见。超声可提供可靠的诊断，并可用于指导和监测适当的治疗。在这个病例报告中，我们描述了一个新的超声征象，气液点，我们建议作为诊断新生儿气胸的特殊征象。
