Pneumopericardium is a rare and severe complication of artificial ventilation in neonates. CASE REPORT: A preterm neonate born after 29 weeks of gestation was placed under ventilatory support for bronchopulmonary dysplasia. At 63 days of life, just after a severe bronchospasm which required bag ventilation with high pressures, she collapsed and required immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation with epinephrine infusion. The diagnosis of pneumopericardium was deduced from the chest X-ray obtained in emergency, on which there was also a right pneumothorax. Cardiac recovery with return of spontaneous circulation was only obtained after evacuation of the pneumopericardium with a 23-gauge needle via the sub-xiphoid route. The pneumothorax was drained and the long-term evolution was favorable. CONCLUSION: In the case of cardiopulmonary compromise, the early diagnosis of pneumopericardium should lead to the immediate evacuation of the pneumopericardium in order to improve the prognosis.
