1/17. subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum after dental extraction.Pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, and subcutaneous emphysema can occur occasionally after a surgical procedure. Facial swelling is a common complication of dental management. The occurrence of subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, and pneumomediastinum after dental procedures is rare. We present a case with subcutaneous emphysema of the upper chest, neck, chin, and pneumomediastinum after a tooth extraction and discuss the possible mechanism of subcutaneous emphysema. To prevent these complications during dental procedures, dental hand pieces that have air coolant and turbines that exhaust air in the surgical field should not be used.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/17. Surgical emphysema and pneumomediastinum complicating dental extraction.Subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema is a rare complication of dental extraction and the use of air turbines has often been implicated. We describe a case which highlights a serious complication of the use of an air rotor for the removal of a right second mandibular molar.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/17. Computed tomography of emphysema following tooth extraction.Subcutaneous and tissue space emphysema following surgical extraction of mandibular third molars is a rare and serious complication of dental surgery. Recognition of mediastinal emphysema following surgical extraction is difficult because there are no absolute clinical symptoms and signs. We present two cases of emphysema following extraction of a lower third molar and discuss the contribution of CT to the early recognition of the presence and spatial migration of air and to clinical management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/17. Plastic bronchitis mimicking foreign body aspiration that needs a specific diagnostic procedure.OBJECTIVE: To report two children admitted to our emergency department with respiratory failure, one for status asthmaticus with pneumomediastinum and requiring mechanical ventilation and the other for high suspicion of foreign body aspiration. INTERVENTIONS: bronchoscopy revealed obstructive plugs and permitted their extraction and their identification as bronchial casts after the immersion in normal saline. Allergy was suspected in the first one, and Hemophilus influenzae infection was present in the second. The outcome was favorable. CONCLUSIONS: Plastic bronchitis is an infrequent cause of acute life-threatening respiratory failure that can mimic foreign body aspiration or status asthmaticus. Bronchoscopic extraction must be performed urgently in the case of severe obstruction. This entity is probably underestimated as the casts with their specific ramifications are difficult to recognize. We recommend the immersion in normal saline of all plugs discovered in children with predisposing diseases mainly represented by infections, allergy, acute chest syndrome, and congenital cardiopathies.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/17. subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum secondary to dental extraction: a case report and literature review.Here, we present the case of a woman who suffered from acute dyspnea and right cheek and neck swelling during molar extraction. The use of a high-speed dental drill may introduce air into the soft tissue and lead to subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum. After a review of the literature, we found that subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum are rare complications secondary to dental extraction. We report this case because physicians in the emergency department may misdiagnose the symptoms as an allergic reaction. dentists should be more aware of air leak during dental extraction.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/17. Surgical emphysema of the mediastinum as a consequence of attempted extraction of a third molar tooth using an air turbine drill.The use of air turbines for the removal of bone or the division of teeth is to be deprecated. Surgical emphysema of the neck and mediastinum as a direct result of the inappropriate use of an air turbine drill to remove an impacted third molar tooth may result in potentially life threatening complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/17. Iatrogenic subcutaneous cervicofacial and mediastinal emphysema.subcutaneous emphysema of the head, neck and mediastinum occurs with a variety of disease processes. Most cases involve the passive escape of air from the aerodigestive tract into subcutaneous tissues. The many causes include head and neck surgical procedures, tracheal and esophageal trauma, intraoral trauma, foreign bodies and neoplasms of the aerodigestive tract, and pulmonary barotrauma from mechanical ventilation or in patients with pulmonary disorders. subcutaneous emphysema secondary to active injection of air has recently been reported following certain dental procedures. An interesting case of diffuse cervicofacial and mediastinal emphysema following a difficult extraction of an infected lower molar tooth with a high-pressure air drill is presented. The patient required airway observation and high-dose antibiotic therapy. Early recognition of this unique problem is essential in preventing such life-threatening complications as airway obstruction, mediastinitis, deep neck infection, and cardiac failure. Diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations are included.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/17. Pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous cervical emphysema during third molar extraction under general anesthesia.A case of pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous cervical emphysema during the extraction of third molars under general anesthesia has been presented. The most likely cause was pulmonary barotrauma secondary to a faulty expiratory valve. This emphasizes the need for the proper preoperative check of all anesthetic equipment. Although pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous cervical emphysema are usually self-limiting conditions with rapid recovery, the patient must undergo close observation for the possible development of serious complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/17. Pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema following surgical extraction of mandibular third molars: three case reports.Three cases of subcutaneous emphysema following surgical extraction of lower third molars are presented. In two of the cases, pneumomediastinum developed. The direct cause of these complications is the combination of the use of an air turbine dental handpiece and the flap design. The propagation of the emphysema and means for its prevention are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/17. Pulmonary complications following endotracheal intubation for anesthesia in breech extraction.A 28-year-old, healthy pregnant patient developed bilateral pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, pneumoretroperitoneum and pneumoperitoneum following endotracheal intubation and manual ventilation during general anesthesia for breech extraction. It is likely that positive-pressure ventilation was the cause for this very rare combination of complications. Early recognition and treatment may prevent such a catastrophe.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
