O A Soyannwo et al. Afr J Med Med Sci. 1987 Sep.

Abstract

A case is reported of a 5-month-old child who developed subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum following the application of external pressure on the trachea during intubation using a non-kinkable tube with a stylet in situ. Possible aetiological factors and management of such a condition are discussed.
