    Pneumomediastinum is a condition where air leaks into the mediastinum and causes it to expand. It can be caused by events that increase alveolar pressure like coughing, vomiting, or asthma attacks. Diagnosis involves chest x-rays which may show a thin radiolucent streaking in the mediastinum representing trapped air. The presentation and management depends on the underlying cause but often resolves with rest and observation.
