A 19-year-old female presented to the emergency department with the sudden onset of chest pain. The patient had a complaint after cheering for her team during a football match. Initial blood workup and imaging were normal. However, before discharge, a widespread crepitation in the neck was detected during re-examination. Further imaging revealed a pneumomediastinum, and the patient was admitted to the hospital. This case emphasizes the importance of follow-up and re-examination before discharging the patients.
