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 case of a large amount of air leaks into the fascial planes, the air can also extend into the retropharyngeal, mediastinal, pleural, and retroperitoneal spaces beyond the subcutaneous layers. Although numerous maxillofacial surgical procedures can cause subcutaneous emphysema, septoplasty has not been reported previously. 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.

Subkutan amfizem, bağ dokuda fasya planları arasında hava bulunmasıyla karakterizedir. Subkutan amfizemin etyolojisi travmatik, iyatrojenik nedenler veya spontan gelişimi içerir. Baş ve boynun subkutan amfizemi, iyi tanımlanmış ve yaşamı tehdit eden bir durumdur. Fasiyal planlara çok miktarda kaçak olması durumunda, hava subkutan dokuların dışında, retrofarengeal, mediastinal, plevral ve retroperitoneal alanlara da yayılabilir. Birçok cerrahi maksillofasiyal işlem subkutan amfizem nedeni olabilmesine rağmen, septoplasti daha önce bildirilmemiştir. Bu benzersiz olguda, subkutan amfizem elektif septoplasti sonrasında gelişti ve maksillofasiyal, retrofarengeal, derin servikal ve orbital bölgelere yayıldı. Hasta antibiyotik profilaksisi eşliğinde konservatif olarak tedavi edildi ve hastalık kendiliğinden 10. günde tamamen düzeldi. Bu makalede, sıra dışı baş ve boyun subkutan amfizemi olguları için mevcut literatür verileri ve optimum tedavi stratejileri tartışıldı
