Pneumomediastinum Mistaken as Angioedema: Case Report

Öz

Pneumomediastinum and massive subcutaneous emphysema are clinical conditions that can occur during head and neck surgeries, bronchoscopy and tracheostomy, after thoracic trauma, rarely during dental procedures and sometimes spontaneously. Patients often present with symptoms such as swelling of the face, neck and sometimes the whole body, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, chest pain and skin crepitus. These findings usually develop suddenly and sometimes may occur within hours or days. A 48-year-old man is applies to the hospital with complaint chest pain due to a fall in the garden. If no pathology is thought to be present as a result of the X-ray, the patient is prescribed ibuprofen for pain relief and discharged. Patient who presents with what appears to be angioedema after taking ibuprofen is found to have pneumomediastinum. In the cases mentioned in the report and initially thought to be angioedema, seeing that the lips are not swollen and feeling subcutaneous crepitation, i.e. even just inspecting and palpating the patient, will distract the clinician from angioedema in a few seconds and direct him/her to the correct diagnosis and perform examinations in the direction of pneumomediastinum.
