The authors present the case of an 87-year-old woman who developed a delayed onset of subcutaneous emphysema post-operatively. We discuss the causative factors - in this case, presumed injury to her hypo-pharynx during a reportedly uneventful endotracheal intubation, the investigations and the management of this rare complication.
