摘要：

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare clinical entity; when diagnosis is certain, no treatment is required and symptoms rarely recur. The clinical presentation is usually diagnostic; however, atypical symptoms may mandate further investigation before diagnosis can be established. We describe 2 patients with spontaneous pneumomediastinum who presented with dominant esophageal symptoms (odynophagia and dysphagia) suggestive of esophageal. perforation. Investigation and management are discussed.
