Abstract
Palpebral emphysema is a rare occurrence after a dental procedure. However, it can be associated with severe complications, such as soft tissue infection, pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, optic nerve ischemia or even blindness. Early diagnosis and prompt management are mandatory for emergency physicians.
