Neonatal pneumopericardium.
Three cases of neonatal pneumopericardium are presented. Detailed ventilatory measurements and chest roentgenographic changes are described for each of the three patients. The literature of neonatal pneumopericardium is reviewed, and based on that review and our own cases, we offer guidelines for managing these patients.
