ABSTRACT:
Hamman’s syndrome is a potentially life-threatening clinical condition characterized by peripartum subcutaneous emphysema and pneumo mediastinum. This obstetric complication typically occurs in late pregnancy and labor and is frequently observed in young healthy primi parous women.1. Excessive Valsalva maneuver during vaginal delivery and excessive retching, coughing, and straining are frequently reported causes2. Subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum in labour and delivery is a rare but potentially serious occurrence that must be identified and managed appropriately to avoid unnecessary investigations and interventions. Published reports indicate that subsequent pregnancies pose no additional risk for recurrence3.
