Case: A patient was transported to our hospital with swelling in his right face and neck after restorative dental treatment. Subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum were discovered using computed tomography scans.
Outcome: The patient had no severe symptoms. We prescribed prophylactic antibiotics and he recovered uneventfully.
Conclusions: Clinicians must keep this pathology in mind because prompt diagnosis and treatment contribute to early improvement. Otherwise, patients may face life-threatening complications.
