Abstract

Pneumothorax is a recognised cause of respiratory distress in the neonatal period. It may occur spontaneously (idiopathic) or secondary to various underlying lung diseases. In considerable cases of pneumothorax, intercostal drain is inserted to relieve respiratory distress. Pneumothorax results in longer hospital stays due to the requirement of these surgical interventions. But, here we would like to take the opportunity to share our clinical experience of the newborn with spontaneous pneumothorax with mild to moderate respiratory distress who recovered completely with conservative management with an oxygenenriched atmosphere and no surgical intervention.

Keywords: Spontaneous pneumothorax; Newborn; Pneumothorax; Intercostal drain.
