Subcutaneous emphysema occurs when air enters the subcutaneous tissue, often due to a tear or rupture in the respiratory tract or gastrointestinal tract, such as a punctured lung or esophagus. It can also result from trauma, surgery, or mechanical ventilation that introduces air into the soft tissues. Symptoms include swelling, a crackling sensation under the skin, and difficulty breathing if the airway is compromised. Prompt medical evaluation is essential to address the underlying cause and manage the condition effectively.
