In this period of pandemic, protective measures and social distancing, sneezing might not be well received and trying to suppress a sneeze is tempting. It's not always a good idea. We here report the case of a patient suffering from minor facial trauma. The next day after the accident, while trying to hold back a sneeze, the patient caused sudden swelling of the right cheek, associated with subcutaneous emphysema and disturbances in sensitivity, revealing an unrecognized fracture of the right maxillary sinus. Post-traumatic subcutaneous emphysema of the face, caused by suppressed sneezing, is rarely described.
在这个疫情大流行、需要采取防护措施和保持社交距离的时期，打喷嚏可能不太受欢迎，因此试图抑制打喷嚏很诱人。但这并不总是个好主意。我们在此报告一例轻度面部创伤患者的病例。事故发生后的第二天，患者在试图抑制打喷嚏时，右侧脸颊突然肿胀，伴有皮下气肿和感觉障碍，这表明右侧上颌窦存在未被识别的骨折。因抑制打喷嚏导致的创伤后面部皮下气肿很少被描述。
