Abstract
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a benign condition that often presents with chest pain or dyspnea. It can develop without a triggering event and with no findings on chest radiography. Treatment is expectant and recurrence is low. Secondary causes must be ruled out to avoid an unfavorable outcome.
