Spontaneous cervical emphysema: a challenge in establishing a plausible etiology
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research and Review - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Spontaneous cervical emphysema occurs in the absence of previous disorders or intiating factors and often poses a challenge in establishing an etiology at presentation. We report a 23 year old lady who presented with extensive subcutaneous emphysema in which a clear etiology was not evident during the initial presentation.
