It is likely that the development of the patient's symptoms was multifactorial, with anesthesia or surgery related microtrauma (tracheal, esophageal, to the lamina papyracea) with post-operative severe hiccups being the final insult, exacerbating the degree of injury and leading to the development of subcutaneous diffuse emphysema.…”
