Pulmonary interstitial emphysema PIE is a recognized sequel of high pressure mechanical ventilation. Nevertheless, with the improvement in perinatal medical care, PIE started to be seen in spontaneously breathing infants. We present a 29-week-old girl who developed PIE on the first day of life, while she was on nasal continuous positive airway pressure, and was successfully managed with high frequency oscillatory ventilation. There is a paucity of these cases in the literature. We report on the occurrence of this entity, early reorganization, and the possible associated or causation factors.
肺间质气肿（PIE）是高压机械通气公认的后遗症。然而，随着围产期医疗护理的改善，PIE开始在自主呼吸的婴儿中出现。我们报告一例29周龄女婴，出生第一天在接受鼻持续气道正压通气时发生PIE，通过高频振荡通气成功治疗。文献中此类病例较少。我们报告了该疾病的发生、早期处理及可能的相关因素或病因。
