Abstract
The frightening appearance of the patient with massive subcutaneous emphysema belies the usual benignity of this condition. It is a manifestation of a large air leak, and therapy, if indicated, is directed toward correcting this defect. A better understanding of this complication will prevent needless and sometimes harmful therapeutic interference.Keywords
