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.

Article Synopsis
- Pneumomediastinum, often occurring silently post-trauma, complicates diagnoses especially when paired with other conditions like pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum, largely due to the Macklin effect where air escapes from ruptured alveoli.
- An 18-year-old male involved in a car crash was found with severe pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema but showed no signs of significant esophageal or bronchial injury upon further evaluation.
- Despite alarming initial imaging, the patient's treatment was conservative, allowing for a gradual healing process and eventual discharge without complications, illustrating the need for careful assessment in trauma management.
