Facial emphysema is a rare complication of cheek biting. This case highlights self-inflicted buccal mucosa injury leading to facial emphysema and cheek puffing.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Buccal mucosa bites are common oral injuries.
  • Facial emphysema is an uncommon consequence of such injuries.

Observation:

  • A case of self-inflicted buccal mucosa bite is presented.
  • The injury resulted in facial emphysema, characterized by cheek puffing.

Findings:

  • The study documents a rare instance of facial emphysema originating from a cheek bite.
  • This emphasizes the potential for significant complications from seemingly minor oral trauma.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider facial emphysema in the differential diagnosis of cheek swelling after oral trauma.
