Abstract
Pneumomediastinum is a known complication of mechanical ventilation.
Infrequently, it secondarily arises from pneumoperitoneum or
pneumoretroperitoneum, when air travels along the fascial planes to
enter the mediastinum. Conversely, pneumoretroperitoneum secondary to
pneumomediastinum is even rare but could occur in mechanically
ventilated patients.08 Sep 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 14 Sep 2021Submission Checks Completed
