Abstract
- Introduction: Spontaneous pneumomediastinum was described by Louis Hamman in 1939. For this reason, it is named Hamman's syndrome. It often occurs in young patients. Patients frequently heal without any complications. Case Report: In this article, a case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum with atypical presentation is presented. Conclusion: Patients who are admitted to the emergency department with sore throat should be examined carefully, and spontaneous pneumomediastinum should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis.
