4.An unusual cause of chest pain in army trainee -spontaneous pneumomediastinum
The Medical Journal of Malaysia 2016;71(1):30-31
This is a case report of spontaneous pneumomediastinum
that occurred in a 19-year-old army trainee during his 2.4km
run. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare disorder. It
is usually precipitated by activities related to Valsalva
manoeuvres such as strenuous physical activities, retching
and vomiting. Treatment is expectant and the disorder
usually resolves spontaneously within a few days. However,
one must be aware of the disorder so that additional advice
such as avoiding activities that involve Valsalva manoeuvres
can be given.

8.Siphoning diesel: a fatal mistake
Leong Wei Cheng ; Brian Cheong Mun Keong
The Medical Journal of Malaysia 2017;72(5):314-315
Diesel is commonly used as fuel for engines and is distilled
from petroleum. Diesel has toxic potential and can affect
multiple organs. Exposure can occur after ingestion,
inhalation or through the dermal route. The practice of
siphoning diesel using a rubber tubing and the mouth is
common in rural communities. This can lead to accidental
ingestion and aspiration. Here we report a case of a patient
who accidentally ingested diesel during siphoning, which
caused extensive erosion of the oral cavity and oesophagus
leading to pneumomediastinum and severe chemical lung
injury. The patient responded well initially to steroids and
supportive care but required prolonged hospitalisation. He
developed complications of nosocomial infection and
succumbed 23 days after admission.

9.Pneumomediastinum by Blunt Chest Trauma (The Macklin Effect).
The Korean Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 2003;36(5):375-377
Pneumomediastinum, also referred to as mediastinal emphysema or Hamman's syndrome, is defined as the presence of air or gas within the fascial planes of the mediastinum. Superior extension of air into the cervicofacial subcutaneous space via communications between the mediastinum and cervical fascial planes or spaces occurs occasionally. Pneumomediastinum frequently results from blunt tracheobronchial lesions and esophageal injuries. However, in most cases, the origin of pneumomediastnum remains unclear. In some cases, it is attributed to the Macklin effect. We report a case of patient with pneumomediastinum, that presented with Mackin effect on chest computed tomographic scan.

The authors present a case of respiration arrest after posterior lumbar interbody fusion. This rare complication occurred because of the tension pneumoperitoneum and pneumomediastinum. We report the pathophysiology and treatments.
