Resumen

La amigdalectomía, una de las cirugías más frecuentes realizada en la otorrinolaringología se considera relativamente segura. Numerosas complicaciones han sido descritas. El enfisema cervical subcutáneo y neumomediastino son complicaciones inmediatas relativamente infrecuentes. Una disección más profunda de la normal sobre el constrictor faríngeo superior, crea una solución de continuidad que diseca los planos cervicofaciales, alcanza el espacio parafaríngeo, retrofaríngeo y puede alcanzar el mediastino produciendo neumotórax, este proceso es facilitado por la tos, vómito o ventilación manual después de la extubación.

Palabras clave:
Amigdalectomía
Enfisema cervical subcutáneo

Abstract

Tonsillectomy is one of the surgical procedures most frequently performed by the ENT specialist. It is considered easy and safe, but many complications have been described. Cervical subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum are immediate complications relatively infrequent. Deep dissection of the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle creates a continuity that dries the cervicofacial planes, until it reaches the parapharyngeal, retropharyngeal and prevertebral spaces. It can even reach the mediastinum producing a pneumothorax, which is facilitated by coughing, vomiting or manual ventilation after extubating.

Key words:
Tonsillectomy
Cervical subcutaneous emphysema (CSE)
Complication
surgery
