Abstract
la dermatomyosite est une connective caractérisée par une inflammation du muscle squelettique associée à des manifestations cutanées caractéristiques. Leurs étiologies, encore méconnues, associent facteurs environnementaux et génétiques. Parmi les complications pulmonaires décrites, les pneumopathies interstitielles qui sont des complications fréquentes. D'autres complications sont plus rarement rapportées comme le pneumomédiastin. Nous rapportons une observation de pneumomédiastin avec dissection aérique sous cutanée massive survenus chez une patiente atteinte de dermatomyosite. Nous discutons, à la vue des données de la littérature de la fréquence, des causes et des mécanismes physiopathologiques de cette pathologie.
