Spontaneous pneumomediastinum has been infrequently reported as a complication of diabetic ketoacidosis. Evidence-based guidelines are currently not available to help in choosing the best diagnostic approach.
We conducted a systematic review of the literature and looked for diagnostic clues that might indicate the need for a work-up to rule out oesophageal perforation.
In all 56 published cases of spontaneous pneumomediastinum associated with diabetic ketoacidosis, the condition was self-limiting. We report one additional case of a 31-year-old female who presented with a spontaneous pneumomediastinum and also epidural pneumatosis, complicating diabetic ketoacidosis.
Important pathology, such as oesophageal rupture, was not detected in any of the reported cases, and we suggest a restrictive diagnostic work-up.
自发性纵隔气肿作为糖尿病酮症酸中毒的一种并发症,报道较少。目前尚无循证指南可用于指导选择最佳诊断方法。
我们对文献进行了系统回顾,寻找可能提示需要进一步检查以排除食管穿孔的诊断线索。
在所有56例已发表的与糖尿病酮症酸中毒相关的自发性纵隔气肿病例中,病情均为自限性。我们报告另外1例31岁女性,该患者出现自发性纵隔气肿及硬膜外积气,并发糖尿病酮症酸中毒。
在所有报道的病例中均未检测到诸如食管破裂等重要病变,我们建议采取限制性的诊断检查。
