The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2004 Pneumomediastinum is the presence of air in the mediastinum. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is an infrequent, benign, and self-limiting condition that predominantly affects young males and pregnant females. It is important to distinguish pneumomediastinum symptoms from similar clinical findings that require immediate treatment, such as cardiac ...

ABSTRACT. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is a rare entity in which free air is found within the mediastinum usually as a complication of respiratory diseases and conditions associated with increased intra‐alveolar pressure. We report a case of unusual asymptomatic SPM caused by an attack of asthma.

European Radiology, 1999
In this paper two cases of spontaneous pneumomediastinum, occurring in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis and in a patient with bronchial asthma, are presented. We describe the radiological findings, the differential diagnosis and the important radiographic considerations in establishing the diagnosis.

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1993
A case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum with cervical emphysema is reported. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum may complicate processes that decrease pulmonary interstitial pressure or increase intraalveolar pressure leading to alveolar rupture. Free air may then tract along blood vessels and decompress into the soft tissues of the neck.

Neonatal Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum
Lung, 2014We present the case of a male newborn, admitted to our unit 4 hours after delivery with respiratory distress syndrome. Born by normal vaginal delivery at 39 weeks of gestation after an uncomplicated pregnancy, weighing 3,070 g, with Apgar score 9/10, he presented with progressive respiratory distress (grunting, tachypnea, nasal flaring, and intercostal

Disposition of spontaneous pneumomediastinum
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1991In the evaluation of spontaneous pneumomediastinum, it is important to exclude pathological causes of pneumomediastinum, including Boerhaave's syndrome, which carries a high mortality rate. The literature varies greatly as to the care of patients with presumed spontaneous pneumomediastinum.
