Abstract
Pneumomediastinum is a rare condition in pediatric patients and may be associated with any predisposing pulmonary disease, including asthma. Its incidence is estimated at 1/32,896 in the general population. Asthma is the most common associated condition in children, with a frequency of 38.4%. Standard chest X-ray is the first investigation performed for its diagnosis; however, chest computed tomography without contrast injection is more sensitive for detecting small amounts of mediastinal air. We report here two cases of spontaneous pneumomediastinum diagnosed by CT scan, a complication of acute asthma at the Lomé University Hospital. RÉSUME Le pneumo médiastin est une entité rare chez les patients pédiatriques, pouvant être associé à toute pathologie pulmonaire prédisposante dont l'asthme. Son incidence est estimée à 1/32896 dans la population générale. L’asthme constitue la pathologie associée la plus courante chez l’enfant, avec une fréquence de 38,4 %. La radiographie standard du thorax est la première investigation réalisée pour son diagnostic ; Cependant, la tomodensitométrie thoracique sans injection de produit de contraste est plus sensible pour détecter de petites quantités d’air médiastinales. Nous rapportons ici deux cas de pneumomédiastin spontané diagnostiqués au scanner, complication d’asthme aigue au CHU campus de Lomé.
纵隔气肿在儿科患者中是一种罕见的疾病,可能与任何易感肺部疾病有关,包括哮喘。其发病率估计为普通人群的1/32,896。哮喘是儿童中最常见的相关疾病,发病率为38.4%。标准胸部x光片是诊断的第一项检查;然而,不注射造影剂的胸部计算机断层扫描对检测少量纵隔空气更敏感。我们在此报告两例自发性纵隔气肿的CT扫描诊断,急性哮喘的并发症在洛姆罗大学医院。RÉSUME肺变性变性是一种罕见的整体疾病,而患者的肺变性变性是一种常见的疾病,être患者的肺变性变性不属于哮喘。发病率估计为1/32896,与人口总数相比。L 'asthme构成la pathologie associationla和courante chez L ' enant,平均为38.4%。x线片标准胸腔镜检查、胸腔镜检查、胸腔镜检查和胸腔镜诊断;与此同时,我们还发现了一种新方法,即:胸装无注射的变性人与胸装无注射的变性人之间的差别。目前已报道的病例有:双发病例、自发性诊断病例、哮喘病合并病例、慢性哮喘病合并病例等。
期刊介绍:
The Journal de Mycologie Medicale / Journal of Medical Mycology (JMM) publishes in English works dealing with human and animal mycology. The subjects treated are focused in particular on clinical, diagnostic, epidemiological, immunological, medical, pathological, preventive or therapeutic aspects of mycoses. Also covered are basic aspects linked primarily with morphology (electronic and photonic microscopy), physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, immunochemistry, genetics, taxonomy or phylogeny of pathogenic or opportunistic fungi and actinomycetes in humans or animals. Studies of natural products showing inhibitory activity against pathogenic fungi cannot be considered without chemical characterization and identification of the compounds responsible for the inhibitory activity.
JMM publishes (guest) editorials, original articles, reviews (and minireviews), case reports, technical notes, letters to the editor and information. Only clinical cases with real originality (new species, new clinical present action, new geographical localization, etc.), and fully documented (identification methods, results, etc.), will be considered.
Under no circumstances does the journal guarantee publication before the editorial board makes its final decision.
The journal is indexed in the main international databases and is accessible worldwide through the ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey platforms.
