- Abstract:
- We report the case of an adult woman who presented to the medical emergency department because of a swollen neck, eye lid, and chest pain. Vital signs were normal except for tachycardia; a trauma was denied. Clinical examination was remarkable for crepitation on the neck and thoracic wall indicating subcutaneous emphysema. The chest radiograph confirmed extensive emphysema; and a computed tomography scan diagnosed pneumothorax on both sides invisible on conventional radiography with gas in the soft tissue of the neck, chest, and abdominal wall. Pneumothorax may not be detectable in standard chest x-ray, may cause unspecific symptoms, and can occur even after minor trauma.
