Abstract

Retropharyngeal and mediastinal emphysema is associated with traumatic aerodigestive tract injury, and may be associated with potentially severe and even life-threatening complications. Retropharyngeal emphysema or pneumomediastinum, in the absence of severe trauma to the visceral organs, is rare following facial fractures. We report a case of extensive subcutaneous emphysema extending to the retropharyngeal space and mediastinum following an orbitozygomatic fracture.

摘要

咽后和纵隔气肿与创伤性气道消化道损伤相关，且可能伴有潜在的严重甚至危及生命的并发症。在没有内脏器官严重创伤的情况下，面部骨折后出现咽后气肿或纵隔气肿是罕见的。我们报告一例眶颧骨折后广泛皮下气肿延伸至咽后间隙和纵隔的病例。
