Abstract
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is an uncommon, mostly benign disorder that usually occurs in young adult males without any apparent pre-existing factor or disease. SPM responds extremely well to conservative treatment, without recurrence in the great majority of cases. We report two cases of SPM and pneumothorax in two young males following a forceful vomiting and a bout of sudden coughing with no underlying lung lesion.
