| Abstract: | Pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax are rare complications in the postoperative oral and maxillofacial surgery patient. Review of the sequence of events relating to these two life-threatening conditions emphasizes the importance of awareness of the clinical presentation and pathophysiology of these conditions as well as the need for judicious pulmonary physiotherapy in the intubated patient. |
