Key Points

Review the clinical signs, symptoms, and varied etiologies that lead to pneumopericardium and related cardiac dysfunction.
Assessed clinical and imaging manifestations of gas accumulation within the pericardial cavity.
Categorized etiologic factors across thoracic trauma, invasive procedural interventions, and systemic diseases.
Identifies pneumopericardium as an uncommon source of cardiac signs, symptoms, and impaired cardiovascular function.
Finds that penetrating chest trauma, clinical interventions, and diseases such as tuberculosis, lymphoma, and penetrating gastrointestinal ulcers serve as primary triggers.
