title: Spontaneous pneumopericardium in a healthy full-term neonate.
abstract: Pneumopericardium is rare in neonates and might be of serious clinical significance. Neonatal pneumopericardium is usually a complication of mechanical ventilation in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome. Here, the authors report a full-term neonate who developed spontaneous pneumopericardium which resolved spontaneously.
