Pneumomediastinum is a rare clinical condition defined by the presence of free air in the mediastinum.

Introduction: Placement of a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is a neuromodulatory technique with several indications, including persistent spinal pain syndrome type 2 (PSPS2), painful diabetic neuropathy, non-surgical chronic low back pain, and complex regional pain syndrome. SCS is conventionally placed in a caudal to cranial fashion (anterograde), yet there are cases such that spinal fusion hardware and adhesions prevent this insertion technique.
Case Presentation: Our patient is a 57-year-old man with PSPS2 who had extensive spinal fusion and epidural scarring extending from the sacrum to T10.
