Abstract

nausea, vomiting, sudden dyspnea, and chest pain; On admission he was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis in addition to
spontaneous penumomediastinum by tomography. It is emphasized that pneumomediastinum associated with ketoacidosis is a rare
complication but with a favorable evolution in most cases.
