Abstract
Epidural pneumatosis is a particularly rare condition in which there is air in the epidural space. We report a 1-year-old infant with spontaneous pneumomediastinum complicated by epidural pneumatosis, which is one of the most severe complications. Even though the patient had an upper respiratory infection, no other preceding factor was found. He did not show any neurological symptoms and he improved with conservative treatment. Early diagnosis of epidural pneumatosis is important to avoid further neurological complications. Int J Clin Pediatr. 2014;3(1):19-21 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14740/ijcp146w
