Colonoscopy is a safe procedure for the diagnosis and management of colorectal diseases. Colonic perforation due to colonoscopy represents an uncommon complication. Here we present an unusual case of iatrogenic bowel perforation resulting in subcutaneous facial and neck emphysema, pneumomediastinum and pneumoretroperitoneum. Taking a detailed recent medical history information is always required when encountering patients with subcutaneous emphysema after invasive examination procedures. Alertness on iatrogenic complication eventualities may improve prognosis and avoid life-threatening conditions.
结肠镜检查是诊断和管理结直肠疾病的一种安全方法。结肠镜检查导致的结肠穿孔是一种罕见的并发症。在此，我们报告一例罕见的医源性肠穿孔病例，该病例导致面部和颈部皮下气肿、纵隔气肿和腹膜后气肿。在遇到侵入性检查程序后出现皮下气肿的患者时，始终需要详细询问近期病史信息。对医源性并发症的警惕可能会改善预后并避免危及生命的情况。
