Initial chest computed tomography (CT) showed extensive pneumomediastinum with air dissecting to the peribronchovascular interstitial sheaths, interlobular septa, and visceral pleura (Figures 1(a) and 1(b)).
(a) Head computed tomography (CT) coronal view showing extension of subcutaneous emphysema into the orbits and superficial bitemporal soft tissues. (b) Neck computed tomography (CT) coronal view showing massive soft tissue emphysema enveloping the strap muscles of the upper chest, neck, and deep facial spaces of the neck.

CT of the neck also showed massive soft tissue emphysema enveloping the strap muscles of the upper chest, neck, deep facial spaces of the neck with extension into the orbits, axillary compartment, and superficial bitemporal soft tissues (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)).
