Abstract

Subcutaneous emphysema of the extremities can be associated with necrotizing fasciitis, a surgical emergency. It can sometimes also be caused by local spreading of air from a retroperitoneal bowel perforation. Other than this specific symptom, the diagnosis of retroperitoneal perforation is usually impeded by lack of signs of peritoneal irritation.
