Spontaneous pneumomediastinum can occur in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis or bronchial asthma. This paper details diagnostic imaging and underlying mechanisms for this rare condition.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare condition.
  • It can occur in various clinical settings.
  • Understanding its pathophysiology is crucial for diagnosis.

Observation:

  • Two cases of spontaneous pneumomediastinum are presented.
  • One patient had diabetic ketoacidosis, the other had bronchial asthma.
  • Radiological findings were analyzed.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic radiographic considerations are detailed.
  • Differential diagnosis for spontaneous pneumomediastinum is discussed.
  • Anatomical pathways and pathophysiological mechanisms are reviewed.

Implications:
