case_images: The electrocardiographic tracing on the bedside monitor, acquired at the supine position, showed the presence of ST-segment elevation, confirmed with the 12-lead electrocardiogram, which was characterized by ST-segment elevation of 3 mm in D2, 6 mm in D3 and 5 mm in aVF, accompanied by right axis deviation (SAQRS= +100o) and small voltage of R wave in V1-V3 (Figure 1).
case_images: - 12-lead ECG after the pleural space drainage showing normalization of the ST-segment elevation.

case_images: - Posterior-to-anterior chest radiography showing air entrapment in the right hemithorax, with a chest tube inserted, mediastinal shift to the left, with no trachea deviation. Pneumopericardium (arrow) is represented by a thin air layer detaching the pericardium.
