Abstract
Epidural emphysema and pneumoscrotum with subcutaneous emphysema are rare in a child past the neonatal period. Their most common causes are bronchial asthma and respiratory infection. Here, we report an 18-month-old boy who was presented with severe air leak, consisting of epidural emphysema, pneumoscrotum, subcutaneous emphysema, and pneumomediastinum, complicated by a bronchial foreign body. The air leak was resolved dramatically after removing the foreign body.
Key Words: Foreign body, Emphysema, Epidural space, Pneumoscrotum, Children
