Case Studies

Spontaneous pneumopericardium related to active cytomegaloviral infection in a lung transplant recipient. The Groningen Lung Transplantation Group

GP Mannes, W van der Bij, and WJ de Boer

Spontaneous pneumopericardium occurred in a patient almost 4 weeks after bilateral lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis. The patient had no specific complaints and was in stable haemodynamic condition. We suggest that this pneumopericardium was related to a concomitant active cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. After treatment of the CMV infection, the pneumopericardium resolved spontaneously.
