To the Editor.— Sturtz's case report and brief review of the literature on spontaneous mediastinal emphysema is interesting.1 However, he neglects to mention what is perhaps the most common cause of this condition in childhood—asthma. Indeed, reports of this complication have occurred over the past 130 years.2-4 Recognition of this fact often results in an understanding of the cause for the pneumomediastinum as well as tipping the clinician off to a possibly undiagnosed but readily treatable condition.

During the care of patients with novel coronavirus infection at the Lomonosov MSU Medical Research and Education Center from April 21 to June 13, 2020, we observed cases of spontaneous mediastinal emphysema (spontaneous pneumomediastinum) as a manifestation or a probable complication of COVID-19.The aim of the paper. To provide clinical case descriptions and approaches to the management of patients with spontaneous pneumomediastinum in COVID-19 associated pneumonia, as they are not addressed in the current clinical guidelines, and therefore are worthy of special attention.Among 224 patients with laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of the novel coronavirus infection COVID-19, five cases of pneumomediastinum without pneumothorax were identified. Of these, in two cases the pneumomediastinum developed during noninvasive lung ventilation (NLV) (one case) and invasive lung ventilation (one case). In three cases, spontaneous mediastinal emphysema was not associated with lung ventilation. By the time of publication, one case of pneumomediastinum was completed, and four patients remained hospitalized. All five patients were males aged from 52 to 84 years.This paper presents in depth the description of two cases of mediastinal and subcutaneous emphysema in patients with COVID-19.

As If

Spontaneous mediastinal emphysema, an apparently uncommon disorder of children, is characterized by precordial pain, unusual crunching sounds heard over the precordium during auscultation, subcutaneous air palpable in the neck, and the presence of mediastinal air on the chest roentgenogram. CASE REPORT A 13-year-old male adolescent had worked all afternoon mowing lawns. When his gas-powered mower stalled, he restarted it by pulling the starter cord vigorously and frequently. After the evening meal, he clipped a hedge by hand. Within one hour, he developed severe substernal pain. He had a sense of substernal pressure. He felt "... as if I were going to explode," and thought he was having a heart attack.
