A case of acute subcutaneous emphysema of the lateral region of the neck is described. The patient, a 26-year-old woman, also had radiologic evidence of pneumomediastinum. She completely recovered in a few days under prophylactic antibiotherapy. In this case, subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema was most probably due to the introduction of air into the soft tissue during dental surgery using compressed air equipment.
本文描述了一例发生于颈部外侧区域的急性皮下气肿病例。患者为一名26岁女性,影像学检查也显示存在纵隔气肿。在预防性使用抗生素治疗后,她在数天内完全康复。在该病例中,皮下和纵隔气肿很可能是由于在牙科手术中使用压缩空气设备时空气进入软组织所致。
