Abstract Spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum in children without any predisposing factors is rarely described. We described the case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema as a complication of persistent cough in a 3-year-old girl with no risk factors. The child was treated conservatively. Repeated chest X-ray after 5 days showed a complete reabsorption of gas in the neck and mediastinum.
