Hamman's syndrome is characterized by spontaneous pneumomediastinum triggered by Valsalva maneuvers and is an uncommon complication during labor and the postpartum period. It is typically benign and managed conservatively with oxygen therapy and analgesia. We present the clinical case of a 21-year-old primigravida who developed spontaneous pneumomediastinum during labor, manifesting with subcutaneous emphysema and dyspnea.

Hamman syndrome, or spontaneous pneumomediastinum, is a rare condition characterized by the presence of free air in the mediastinum, often triggered by increased intrathoracic pressure from vomiting, coughing, or intense physical exertion. Its association with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is extremely uncommon. We report a case of an 18-year-old male with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes who developed DKA complicated by pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous emphysema, and a small pneumothorax.

Background: Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) and subcutaneous emphysema (SE) are rare, severe, and potentially life-threatening complications associated with asthma exacerbation. Most of these conditions are benign and self-limiting. However, the overlapping symptoms between asthma exacerbation and pneumomediastinum (PM) may delay diagnosis.

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is an uncommon condition caused by alveolar rupture due to increased intra-alveolar pressure resulting in air tracking along the tracheobronchial tree. While chest pain, neck pain, and dyspnea are the most commonly described symptoms, bradycardia could be an associated manifestation occasionally. In the majority of cases, pneumomediastinum is usually diagnosed on chest X-ray.
