Abstract
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare entity that can complicate an asthma attack and can occur in young adults or adolescents. The abrupt onset of pneumomediastinum is usually associated with dyspnea, cough and chest pain. We report a case of severe asthma attack complicated by spontaneous pneumomediastinum in a 25-year-old female patient. Chest X-ray and CT scan confirmed the diagnosis. Progression was favorable within 6 days of treatment
