Abstract not available. Introduction: ...Although tonsillectomy is considered a relatively safe surgical procedure, numerous complications have been described. An infrequent complication of tonsillectomy is cervical emphysema. Cervical emphysema with pneumomediastinum has rarely been reported. We present one new case and propose intraoperative peritonsillar infiltration with local anesthetic agent as the cause of air penetration.
