  • Title: [Subcutaneous emphysema in status asthmaticus].
    Author: Schwarz E.
    Journal: Rontgenblatter; 1985 Sep; 38(9):289-91. PubMed ID: 4059815.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous subcutaneous accumulations of air in the soft parts of the thorax during an asthmatic crisis (status asthmaticus) are rarely seen. The pathomechanism of the phenomenon, which may lead to the formation of an emphysema of the soft parts via the pneumomediastinum, is discussed, and the possible complications which must be taken into account are pointed out. The value of radiological examination of the thorax in children suffering from asthma bronchiale, is explained briefly.
