We present a case of spontaneous cervical, retropharyngeal, and mediastinal emphysema occurring in a previously healthy young male, which is the first described case in Saudi Arabia. The patient was admitted to the ward for observation, monitoring of vital signs,

neck pain
improved gradually with no episodes of oxygen desaturation or vital sign deterioration. The patient was later discharged with very mild persistent pain. Two weeks after discharge, patient was seen in outpatient clinic and was free of symptoms. Spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema remains a rare presentation encountered in emergency department.
