Abstract
Pneumomediastinum is defined by the presence of air in the mediastinum. It can be spontaneous or secondary to a trauma, its evolution is often favorable and its management is based on symptomatic treatment. Its diagnosis is based on the cervico-thoraco-abdominal scanner. This article presents a rare case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum discovered incidentally after upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
