Recurrent spontaneous pneumomediastinum: a rare but possible event!
Abstract
Recurrent spontaneous pneumomediastinum is an exceptional event and little is known about it.
We report an exceptional case of patient who presents with early recurrence of spontaneous pneumomediastinum following a spasm of coughing and in absence of any predisposing factors. The episodes of pneumomediastinum were elicited by recurrent episode of coughing and resolved with medical treatment. Despite rare, recurrence of spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a possible event which may occur in patients without predisposing factors.
