Popis:	Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is an uncommon occurrence and is usually self-limiting. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is the presence of free air around mediastinal structures and is thought to be secondary to alveolar or honeycomb cyst rupture due to raised intrapulmonary pressure on coughing, blunt force trauma to the chest, asthma, various types of interstitial lung diseases, including interstitial pneumonia associated with connective tissue diseases, including dermatomyositis and rheumatoid arthritis.
