ABSTRACT

Introduction: the pneumopericardium is a life-threatening entity and varied clinical forms will be presented. In patients with cardiac tamponade puncture and placement of a pericardial drainage should be performed immediately. It has a poor prognosis in severe cases, with a mortality of 90%.
Objective: to highlight the role that the chest radiograph acquires in terms of diagnostic capacity. Presentation of cases: three cases are shown in different health scenarios. Two of them of Angolan nationality and the third consulted in the Provincial Pediatric Hospital of Sancti Spíritus, Cuba.
Conclusions: it constitutes a serious complication with multiple etiologies and its incidence is low. Chest x-ray is the fundamental diagnostic means, with better capacity than echocardiography to define its severity and possible.causes.
