Subcutaneous cervicofacial emphysema is a rare and life-threatening condition that results from various causes. In this report, we documented a case of a patient with severe subcutaneous cervicofacial emphysema a condition that falls under the umbrella of Munchausen's syndrome and discussed the workup of this patient. Thorough diagnostic investigations seeking the etiology of the condition proved unsuccessful. When faced with cases of recurring subcutaneous cervicofacial emphysema, where the root cause remains ambiguous a diagnosis of Munchausen's Syndrome should be considered.
皮下颈面部气肿是一种由多种原因引起的罕见且危及生命的疾病。在本报告中，我们记录了一例患有严重皮下颈面部气肿的患者，该疾病属于孟乔森综合征范畴，并讨论了该患者的检查过程。旨在寻找病因的全面诊断性调查未获成功。当面对复发性皮下颈面部气肿且病因不明的病例时，应考虑孟乔森综合征的诊断。
