Subcutaneous emphysema is the condition in which air or other gases penetrate the skin and submucosa causing soft-tissue distention. This type of emphysema may be traumatic, iatrogenic or may occur spontaneously. This report describes the youngest case of subcutaneous emphysema related to dental treatment that has been documented to date. In addition to the patient's age, the case is of interest because subcutaneous emphysema is a rare complication of dental therapy.
皮下气肿是指空气或其他气体穿透皮肤和黏膜下层导致软组织膨胀的一种病症。这种类型的气肿可能是外伤性的、医源性的，也可能自发发生。本报告描述了迄今为止有记录的与牙科治疗相关的最年轻的皮下气肿病例。除了患者的年龄之外，该病例之所以引人关注，是因为皮下气肿是牙科治疗中一种罕见的并发症。
