Sammanfattning
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare condition caused by a bronchial or alveolar rupture. We present the X-ray and CT findings in a patient in whom the condition occurred after playing soccer. The CT scan demonstrates the position of the alveolar rupture and the passage of air along the veins to the pericardium and mediastinum.
