| Abstract: | Summary ¶An unusual complication of craniofacial subcutaneous emphysema after evacuation of a chronic subdural haematoma is reported. The emphysema caused massive swelling and deformity of the patient s head and face, as well as the occlusion of both eyes, and it resolved spontaneously. The possible mechanisms of development of emphysema are discussed.Published online July 25, 2003 |
