Abstract
Spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema is a rare clinical condition. This is an unusual case report of a young lady who presented with spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema in the emergency department without any precipitating cause. Diagnosis was made by the contrast CT scan of chest. This is one of the few reported cases that illustrate early diagnosis and symptomatic management improves outcome in infrequent emergency conditions.
Keywords : Cyanosis, Edema, Lung Diseases, Oxygen, Subcutaneous Emphysema.
