Pneumomédiastin spontané : une entité rare. À propos de cinq cas

Conclusion. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a very rare entity, generally observed in young adults. The thoracic CT scan provides a positive diagnosis, identifies the cause, and establishes a baseline image for follow-up. In addition, other causes of thoracic pains or respiratory distress (cardiac failure, aortic dissection, and ruptured aneurism, etc.) can be ruled out.
