title: Neonatal pneumatocele as a complication of nasal continuous positive airway pressure.
abstract: A preterm infant with mild respiratory insufficiency resulting from respiratory distress syndrome developed a pneumatocele after the start of nasal continuous positive airway pressure. Pneumonia was excluded by sputum and blood cultures. Treatment with high frequency oscillation ventilation resulted in complete recovery.
