Spontaneous windpipe tearsLive Science

A man in his 30s in the U.K. reported that he'd stifled a sneeze by pinching his nose and closing his mouth at the same time.
He didn't have any trouble breathing, swallowing or talking, but his doctors noticed a faint crackling sound during an initial examination of his neck.
A CT scan then showed that a tear had formed between the third and fourth bones in the patient's neck, which enabled air to escape from his windpipe, or trachea, and into tissues of the neck and the space between the lungs.
