The authors present the case of a 64-year-old woman who presented with massive subcutaneous emphysema 2 weeks after unknowingly inhaling a Brazil nut. Foreign body inhalation should be a differential diagnosis in all such patients, with computed tomography scanning of the chest being the most appropriate investigation.
作者报告了一例64岁女性病例，该患者在无意中吸入一颗巴西坚果两周后出现大量皮下气肿。对于所有此类患者，异物吸入都应作为鉴别诊断考虑，胸部计算机断层扫描是最合适的检查方法。
