英文摘要 | Background Although uncommon, available evidence suggests that pneumorrhachis (PR) with spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) in adulthood is usually benign and self-limiting. This study aimed to review our experience and identify the risk factors of PR in pediatric patients with SPM. Methods Between September 2007 and September 2017, SPM in patients aged ≤18 years was retrospectively reviewed and clinical features and outcomes between SPM patients with and without PR were analyzed. Results In total, thirty consecutive occurrences of SPM in 29 patients were finally identified and classified into SPM (n = 24) and SPM plus PR (n = 6) groups. No significant differences in received interventional exams, prophylactic antibiotic administration or restriction of oral intake between the two groups were found. Both groups were treated with hospitalization predominantly; but the SPM plus PR group tended to have longer length of hospital stay (median 5.5 vs. 3 days, p = 0.08). PR was observed more frequently in patients with abnormal serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (>5 mg/L), identified predisposing factors, and those with more severe grade of SPM (p = 0.005, 0.001 and < 0.001, respectively). On multivariable regression analysis, the SPM plus PR group exhibited more predisposing factors than did the SPM group (coefficient: 0.514, standard error: 0.136, p < 0.001). All patients were successfully treated without morbidity and mortality. Conclusion Although patients with pneumorrhachis retained a higher CRP level, more identified predisposing factors and prolonged inpatient care, conservative management without an extensive work-up would be an appropriate and favorable strategy in pediatrics with concurrent SPM and PR. |
