We report a 23-year-man who showed bilateral cervical subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, and pneumothorax with no respiratory abnormality. He was found to have active duodenal ulcers, but no detectable pneumoperitoneum or duodenal leak. A sealed perforation from the duodenal ulcers was suspected, and he fully improved after conservative management. %U https://smj.org.sa/content/smj/31/6/703.full.pdf
