Abstract：
:Spontaneous pneumothorax is present in 1 to 2% of healthy full-term newborn infants. Virtually all cases have resolution of the pneumothorax without sequelae and in fact without the condition being diagnosed. Two fatal cases are presented. Anyone doing medicolegal autopsies should be aware of this entity so that X-rays or other appropriate methods to demonstrate it can be used.
