Subcutaneous emphysema after dental treatment: a case report
Paediatr Anaesth.
2006 Mar.
Abstract
Subcutaneous emphysema is the condition in which air or other gases penetrate the skin and submucosa causing soft-tissue distention. This type of emphysema may be traumatic, iatrogenic or may occur spontaneously. This report describes the youngest case of subcutaneous emphysema related to dental treatment that has been documented to date. In addition to the patient's age, the case is of interest because subcutaneous emphysema is a rare complication of dental therapy.
