| description | Despite the fact that Pneumomediastinum owing to a foreign body is uncommon, it might present a difficult clinical scenario in the absence of any suggestive history. Foreign bodies that are radiolucent are more challenging to diagnose.

We discussed how a thorough history and a high level of suspicion aided us in diagnosing and treating such a case. |
