Pneumomediastinum can develop spontaneously or in the
setting of trauma. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is a
rare condition and treatment of these patients is generally limited to
observation. We discovered SPM in 15-year- old male patient, who
had been wrestling, admitted to our emergency service with chest
pain and shortness of breath. In this case report we discussed that
in a patient without trauma, medical intervention for developing
pneumomediastinum, the increased vagal maneuver may lead to
SPM.
