“…Minor cervical injuries in children may lead to a significant posterior tracheal wall laceration, resulting in pneumomediastinum with or without pneumothorax. Madan et al 4 reported a case of pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax after lower neck dissection. There have been few cases of pneumomediastinum after tonsillectomy, 5 but one report discussed rhinolalia as a symptom of pneumomediastinum after tonsillectomy and gave a review of the literature 2 …”

Pneumomediastinum is a rare complication of neck dissection. Rhinolalia is defined as a squeaky voice of nasal quality caused by a disturbance in the nasal air passage. Closed rhinolalia is caused by undue closure of the nasal airway, resulting in reduced resonance and a high-pitched voice. It has been described as a symptom of pneumomediastinum 1 and after tonsillectomy. 2 We report a patient in whom rhinolalia developed a few hours after radical neck dissection (RND), superficial parotidectomy, and excision of postauricular porocarcinoma.

“…Partial airway obstruction enhances this route by creating a negative intrathoracic pressure (Forbes et al, 1947). This mechanism seems to be most commonly involved in the development of mediastinal emphysema following tracheotomy, thyroidectomy, radical neck dissection, or any procedures that incise the deep cervical fascia (Madan et al, 1964).…”
