Pneumopericardium originating in the perinatal period - what does this mean

Pneumopericardium originating in the perinatal period is a rare condition that occurs when air enters the pericardial sac, the sac that surrounds the heart, during the delivery of a newborn. this can cause the pressure in the sac to increase, leading to compression of the heart and difficulty breathing. it is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention and treatment.

What happens during the disease - pneumopericardium originating in the perinatal period

Pneumopericardium originating in the perinatal period is caused by a defect in the fetal diaphragm that allows air to enter the pericardial cavity. this can be due to trauma, a congenital defect, or a tear in the fetal membranes. as the fetus grows, the air continues to accumulate in the pericardial cavity, leading to increased pressure and potentially decreased cardiac output. if left untreated, this can lead to cardiac failure, shock, and even death.
