- Abstract
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is the presence of free air in the mediastinum without of trauma and surgery or other medical procedures. This disease is a rare disorder and mainly affects healthy young males and also known as spontaneous mediastinal emphysema. It is generally known as a benign prognosis because of spontaneous resolution. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum typically presents with the sudden onset chest pain, dyspnea, subcutaneous emphysema, dysphagia, dysphonia and sometimes neck pain. Two cases who were diagnosed with SPM and had no predisposing factors are presented as a reminder in differential diagnosis in cases with sudden onset of shortness of breath and chest pain.
