Article Synopsis
- The primary causes of mediastinal emphysema/pneumomediastinum include oesophageal perforation, lung issues, or complications from head and neck surgery.
- Differentiating these causes can be effectively done using Computed Tomographic Imaging of the thorax and abdomen, utilizing oral and intravenous contrast in a triple phase approach.
- Oesophageal perforation, known as Boerhaave syndrome, may present with Mackler's triad (severe chest pain, pneumomediastinum, mediastinitis) in about 50% of patients, while lung pathologies might present with pneumothorax and pleural effusion.

Despite the high burden of infectious diseases in Francophone Africa, data from these countries regarding TIP remain limited.
