Spontaneous pneumomediastinum(SPM) is relatively rare in children without chest or neck trauma and it is a uncommon disease characterized by the presents of interstitial air in the mediastinum. This is an uncommon complication of exercise activity. Herein, we report a case of SPM presented in a 8-year-old male, who complained of chest discomfort and sore throat after swimming in the ocean.
