The introduction of air into the soft tissues surrounding the maxillofacial region is the subject of this report. We present seven cases varying from emphysema following dental manipulation, severe facial trauma, with and without clinical or radiographic evidence of fracture, to a case that resulted in blindness and another case that required emergency tracheostomy. We propose the modification of the term emphysema so as to include the entry of air into the brain by the same mechanism.
本文报告的主题是空气进入颌面区域周围软组织的情况。我们呈现了7个病例，包括牙科操作后发生的气肿、严重面部创伤（有或无骨折的临床或影像学证据），还有1例导致失明的病例以及1例需要紧急气管切开术的病例。我们提议修改气肿这一术语，以便将通过相同机制进入脑部的空气纳入其中。
