“…However, SE in neonates is a rare complication, most frequently occurring secondary to pneumothoraces and pneumomediastina [ 11 ]. The incidence of pneumothorax in neonates is found to be 1% in term neonates and 6-10% in preterm neonates [ 12 ]. A pneumomediastinum is, like the word itself suggests, air trapped in the mediastinal area [ 1 , 13 ] and was similarly found to have a 2.3% incidence in term neonates, 2% in preterm neonates, and 1% in neonates born via cesarean section [ 14 ].…”
