Resumen El dolor torácico en adolescentes es una causa de consulta frecuente en los servicios de urgencias; si el dolor es de inicio agudo, causa ansiedad y temor en los pacientes, que lo relacionan con una patología cardiovascular. Su amplia variedad de posibilidades diagnósticas constituye un desafío para el médico de urgencias que se enfrenta a este síntoma. Se presenta el caso de un adolescente de 15 años de edad previamente sano que comenzó con dolor precordial irradiado al cuello de inicio agudo y en quien se documentó un síndrome de Hamman como manifestación de un neumomediastino espontáneo.
