Overview

Pneumomediastinum must be differentiated from other diseases that cause acute chest pain, cough, and dyspnea, such as acute coronary syndrome, aortic dissection, cardiac tamponade, pulmonary embolism, tension pneumothorax, esophageal perforation, asthma exacerbation or pneumonia.

Differentiating [Disease name] from other Diseases

Pneumomediastinum must be differentiated from a number of diseases affecting the cardiovascular system, bronchopulmonary system or gastrointestinal tract that cause acute chest pain, cough, and dyspnea.

Differentiating pneumomediastinum from other diseases on the basis of acute chest pain, cough, and dyspnea

On the basis acute chest pain, cough, and dyspnea, pneumomediastinum must be differentiated from [disease 1], [disease 2], [disease 3], [disease 4], [disease 5], and [disease 6].
