Popis: Tension pneumothorax (TPT) in trauma patients is an uncommon disorder caused by the progressive accumulation of air in the pleural cavity. In pre-hospital and emergencies, if it is not diagnosed and treated on time, it endangers the lives of patients. In this study, we report a patient who developed tension pneumothorax and extensive subcutaneous emphysema due to mild trauma and not going to the hospital in the early hours, which caused an anaphylactic appearance on the patient's face.
