MORCILLO, Karen L e VALLEJO, Ernesto L. Hamman's syndrome as the cause of chest pain in an adolescent. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.1, pp.62-65. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2014.12.002.
Chest pain in adolescents is a common cause of consultation in emergency services, if the pain is of acute onset it causes anxiety and fear in patients that relate it to a cardiovascular disease. Its wide variety of diagnostic possibilities poses a challenge for the emergency physician faced with this symptom. We present the case of a previously healthy 15 year old who debuted with chest pain of acute onset radiating to the neck. Hamman's syndrome was documented to have caused the symptoms.
