Diagram depicting the pathology of Macklin effect.
Case Discussion
Macklin effect - key learning points:
- increased alveolar pressure leads to rupture with passing of air into the pulmonary interstitium
- the air dissects the peribronchovascular interstitium, interlobular septa and visceral pleura in a centripetal direction towards the hila
- air finally reaches the mediastinum
