Abstract
The article describes a clinical observation of an 18-year-old patient suffering from bronchial asthma complicated by mediastinal emphysema which developed during a coughing attack. It demonstrates the possibilities of computed tomography in the complex diagnosis of spontaneous mediastinal emphysema.
