Benign subcutaneous emphysema of the upper limb is extremely uncommon. Patients with this condition that involves the limbs usually present with local symptoms, and they are systematically well. We report a case of 18-year-old male presented after a minor cut wound in the forearm with diffuse subcutaneous emphysema. The patient was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy after wound exploration. Recovery was uneventful. Infectious etiology by gas-forming organisms should be ruled out before considering other causes.
上肢良性皮下气肿极为罕见。患有这种累及肢体的疾病的患者通常表现为局部症状,全身状况良好。我们报告一例18岁男性患者,因前臂轻微割伤后出现弥漫性皮下气肿前来就诊。伤口探查后,患者接受了高压氧治疗。恢复过程顺利。在考虑其他病因之前,应排除产气菌引起的感染性病因。
