Abstract:
Benign subcutaneous emphysema of the upper limb is extremely uncommon. Patients with this condition that involves the limbs usually present with local symptoms, and they are systematically well. We report a case of 18-year-old male presented after a minor cut wound in the forearm with diffuse subcutaneous emphysema. The patient was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy after wound exploration. Recovery was uneventful. Infectious etiology by gas-forming organisms should be ruled out before considering other causes.
