This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ...may be regarded as presenting only different stages of a necessarily complex pathological process. Etioukiy.--The direct entrance of gas from without through a solution of tinuity in the pericardial wall forms the initiation of pneumo-pericardium in the large majority of cases, even when the consecutive decomposition may determine its continuance. The multiple possible relations of traumatism and wounds of the chest wall to pneumo-pericardium are self evident. The special forms will be considered in connection with wounds of the heart. It should he said here, however, that the entrance of air is by no means a necessary consequence of penetrating wounds of the pericardium. But both punctured and incised wounds may involve the pericardial sac in a septic inflammation that develops a pneumo-hydro-pericardium without the advent of air. Communication between the pericardial cavity and either the air or a source of gas formation may be established by ulcerative processes. These may take place from within outward when there is suppurative disease of the pericardium, and similarly by ulceration burrowing pus may invade the pericardium. It may happen that the primary centre of suppuration contains no gas, but that the advancing ulceration extends in two directions and reaches a gas-containing cavity as well as the pericardium, as in a reported case in which an abscess of the liver opened into the stomach and pericardium. Mediastinal suppurative disease is particularly apt to form such a double connection. Pyo-pneumo-thorax, abscess of the lung, ulceration in the oesophagus, ulcer of the stomach, as well as new growths in the mediastinum, have all been noticed as the starting point of the ulceration which eventually opens the pericardium to the entrance of air or gas...
