Pneumoparotid: A Review | Chapter 06 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 10

 Pneumoparotid syndrome is a rare cause of parotid gland hypertrophy. It's caused by air leaking into the parotid gland's parenchyma through Stensen's duct.

The definition, epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy of pneumoparotid are all discussed in this study.

The goal of this review is to raise health-care professionals' and the public's knowledge of a fascinating, unusual, but well-documented clinical phenomenon.

A Review of Benign Subcutaneous Emphysema Following Knee Arthroscopy | Chapter 7 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 3

 Describe patients who develop subcutaneous edoema following knee arthroscopy. Methods: Personal experience with a published case, as well as searches of "subcutaneous edoema" and "arthroscopy" in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Results: Of the 11 cases, four were due to arthroscopic operation errors, and two were due to non-healing wounds. Edema might be found anywhere from the chest wall to the foot, and it emerged many days after the arthroscopy. Except in one case where a fasciotomy was performed and another where an arthrotomy was performed, the patients appeared well and did not want therapy for gas gangrene. The recovery time was 2 to 3 weeks, with no lasting effects on the operated knee. Subcutaneous edoema is more common after shoulder arthroscopy than knee arthroscopy, and it can potentially compromise hip and elbow arthroscopy. 

Conclusion: Subcutaneous edoema is a rare but serious complication of knee arthroscopy that has a good prognosis.

Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum and Subcutaneous Emphysema: Unusual Presentation of H1N1 Influenza in Adult | Chapter 16 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Swine flu is an acute respiratory disease caused by a variant of the influenza A virus that is highly infectious. The strain has produced many localised outbreaks in various parts of the world since the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. Fever, cough, sore throat, weariness, headache, dyspnea, myalgia, vomiting, and diarrhoea are the most common symptoms, although serious consequences such as rapidly progressing pneumonia, septic shock, and multi-organ failure can also occur.

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum complicating H1N1 swine influenza is unusual, occurring predominantly in youngsters with a susceptible co-morbidity such as asthma. Its occurrence in adults should be considered a possibility, notwithstanding its rarity. If Pneumomediastinum is not detected and treated soon, it can be fatal.

We present a case of adult H1N1 swine influenza that developed spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) in the absence of any known comorbidities.
