Pneumomediastinum and Macklin Effect

Pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous gas, and interstitial gas (Macklin effect) simulating a pneumothorax.
Key takeaways
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum often has no identifiable secondary cause on follow-up imaging, and care should be taken not to mistake interstitial gas for a pneumothorax.
