Spinnaker sign (pneumomediastinum)- pneumomediastinum
Presentation
was changed:
The patient is a newborn male presenting with respiratory distress requiring CPAP after an emergent category one caesarean section for cord prolapse. He was born at 37 + 3 gestation, a birth weight of 2600g and APGAR scores of 7, 8 and 9 at the 1-, 5- and 10-minute mark respectively. A mobile supine chest X-RAY revealed bilateral pneumothorax with pneumomediastinum (angel wing/Spinnaker sign). The patient was consequently admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit.
