Spontaneous pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema (Hamman's syndrome) are rare but potentially dangerous complications of labour. The authors reported a case of a 23-year-old primigravida, admitted to our hospital for delivery after 40 weeks of pregnancy. She delivered a baby of 4.27 kg after 9 h from the start of labour. A few minutes after delivery, the patient developed dyspnoea and chest tightness, which made her doctor suspect pulmonary embolism. A chest X-ray and CT scan revealed pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema. The patient had been followed up for 3 days in our hospital, without specific therapy.
自发性纵隔气肿和皮下气肿(哈曼综合征)是分娩时罕见但潜在危险的并发症。作者报告了一例23岁初产妇的病例,该产妇在怀孕40周后入院分娩。她从分娩开始9小时后产下一名体重4.27千克的婴儿。分娩后几分钟,患者出现呼吸困难和胸闷,这使她的医生怀疑是肺栓塞。胸部X线和CT扫描显示纵隔气肿和皮下气肿。该患者在我院接受了3天的随访,未进行特殊治疗。
