AbstractPneumomediastinum or mediastinal emphysema is a known complication of traumatic injury or disease whereas spontaneous pneumomediastinum remains a rare clinical entity. We present the case of a young woman with a diagnosis of spontaneous pneumomediastinum combined with cervical emphysema without any precipitating factors or disease.
