In this case report, a rare case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum was presented.

An increase of linear-type transparency starting from the right paratracheal area and extending to the mediastinum, and a subcutaneous emphysema in the neck region were detected on the posteroanterior (PA) chest X-ray of the patient, which is compatible with pneumomediastinum (PM). Conclusion: History, systemic examination and radiological imaging are very important for the patients with chest pain. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum should betaken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of chest pain and breathing distress.
