| Popis: | Subcutaneous emphysema in itself is a benign condition. However, when present secondary to trauma, it may indicate a more serious problem. We report a patient with subcutaneous emphysema secondary to trauma sustained during a generalized seizure. It is believed that the source of the air in the tissue was from a minor laceration below and into the patient's nose without any fracture of the underlying bones or sinus involvement. |
