Case Reports[Subcutaneous emphysema after septoplasty: a case report].
Subcutaneous emphysema is characterized by the presence of air in the connective tissue within the fascial planes. The etiology of subcutaneous emphysema includes trauma, iatrogenic causes, or spontaneous development. Head and neck subcutaneous emphysema is a well-defined and life-threatening condition. ⋯ In this unique case, subcutaneous emphysema developed after elective septoplasty and involved the maxillofacial, retropharyngeal, deep cervical, and orbital regions. The patient was treated conservatively with antibiotic prophylaxis and the condition completely resolved by day 10 spontaneously. Herein, we discuss the available literature data and optimal management strategies for unusual cases of head and neck subcutaneous emphysema.

Case ReportsA rare cause of odynophagia: infected tracheal diverticulum.
Tracheal diverticulum is a relatively rare lesion. Tracheal diverticula are divided into two subgroups as congenital and acquired with different characteristics and etiologies. ⋯ It should be noted that infection may obstruct the air-filled lumen of the diverticulum, causing a diagnostic challenge. Multislice computed tomography with coronal reconstructed images is the modality of choice for diagnosing diverticulum and assessing therapeutic response in associated complications.
