Medical News Today: What causes a pneumomediastinum?

Pneumomediastinum refers to having air or another gas trapped in the center of the chest, an area known as the mediastinum. Injury, intense exercise, or even difficult childbirth can cause pneumomediastinum. Treatment often relies on resting until the air goes, and the condition is not usually serious.
