| Abstract |
|
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a benign condition, caused by alveolar rupture and associated
with many clinical conditions. There are numerous reports of spontaneous pneumomediastinum
associated with various origins such as bronchial asthma, labor and a mechanically obstructed airway.
A 20-year old woman visited our outpatient clinic because of a productive cough and dyspnea. A
pneumomediastinum was seen on the chest radiograph and acid fast bacilli were observed on the
sputum study. Endobronchial tuberculosis was diagnosed by bronchoscopy and improved with
antituberculous treatment.
Here, we report a case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum as a complication of endobronchial
tuberculosis and review the medical literature.(Korean J Med 71:431-434, 2006)
