Abstract
A 28-year-old housewife was hospitalized on three occasions for subcutaneous emphysema of unknown origin. Its cause was finally determined as self-induced; during one hospitalization the patient also produced a factitious fever. This cause of subcutaneous emphysema has apparently not been recognized hitherto.Keywords
