Spontaneous postpartum pneumomediastinum: beware of too much diagnostics %K %X In this brief letter we present the case of a 33-year-old primiparous healthy woman in labour who entered our hospital at 38 weeks +6 days of gestational age. After 4 hours and 30 minutes of spontaneous labour, she delivered a healthy newborn. Two hours later she became slightly tachypneic and, in the subsequent 2 hours, developed chest pain at deep inspiration and subcutaneous emphysema that extended from the upper thorax to the neck and to the right side of the face. %U https://jtd.amegroups.org/article/view/27429 %V 11 %N 3 %P E34-E36 %@ 2077-6624
