A patient was transported to our hospital with swelling in his right face and neck after restorative dental treatment. Subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum were discovered using computed tomography scans.
The patient had no severe symptoms. We prescribed prophylactic antibiotics and he recovered uneventfully.
Clinicians must keep this pathology in mind because prompt diagnosis and treatment contribute to early improvement. Otherwise, patients may face life-threatening complications.
