Diagnostic endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract is a safe procedure, which, however, is not without complications. We report the rare occurrence of retroperitoneal, mediastinal and subcutaneous emphysema following routine endoscopy, with no obvious evidence of a site of perforation. Possible etiological aspects are discussed. This complication appeared to be a benign clinical condition that was resolved with conservative, nonsurgical treatment.
上消化道诊断性内窥镜检查是一种安全的操作，但并非没有并发症。我们报告了常规内窥镜检查后罕见的腹膜后、纵隔和皮下气肿情况，且无明显穿孔部位的证据。文中讨论了可能的病因。这种并发症似乎是一种良性临床病症，通过保守的非手术治疗得以解决。
