Overview
Pneumomediastinum is considered a benign condition. The first step in the treatment is the exclusion of any significant pathology causing pneumomediastinum and if diagnosed, treat the underlying conditions. In case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum without any complications, patients are required to be hospitalized for 24 hours for observational purposes.
Medical therapy
- Pneumomediastinum is considered a benign condition[1][2].
- The first step in the treatment is the exclusion of any significant pathology causing pneumomediastinum and if diagnosed, treat the underlying conditions such as exacerbation of asthma, COPD, pneumonia, pneumothorax, Boerhaave syndrome, mediastinitis, bronchiectasis or ARDS.[3][4][5][6][7]
- In case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum without any complications, patients are required to be hospitalized for 24 hours for observational purposes.

- Bedrest
- Analgesic drugs
- Anti-anxiety drugs
