“…Treatment options include avoiding oral food intake, oxygen supplementation, empirical antibiotics, and analgesic support [ 28 - 30 ]. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum with odynophagia and neck pain can occur after physical exercise as well [ 16 ]. In a case report, Faria et al [ 16 ] described a young patient who presented with odynophagia and neck pain after a physical exercise schedule at a gym class.…”

In a case report, Faria et al [ 16 ] described a young patient who presented with odynophagia and neck pain after a physical exercise schedule at a gym class. The patient developed pneumomediastinum, which resolved quickly after treatment with high-concentration oxygen support and oral analgesia.…”

Odynophagia refers to painful swallowing caused by various underlying factors that must be excluded to determine the best treatment approach. Neck pain is a debilitating condition requiring treatment in rehabilitative settings. There are several circumstances in which odynophagia and neck pain coexist, such as tendinitis of the longus colli muscle and paravertebral calcification, prevertebral and retropharyngeal abscess, esophageal perforation, aortic dissection, thyroid cartilage fracture, thyrohyoid ligament syndrome, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema, and after physical exercise. Physiotherapists are professionals most likely to encounter individuals with neck pain and provide interventions such as massage, manual therapy, exercise, and electrotherapy. Therefore, it is important to recognize that neck pain can stem from different clinical conditions that require interventions other than physiotherapy. A differential diagnosis is crucial to ensure appropriate referrals for therapeutic interventions.
