Tonsillectomy is a very common procedure in Otolaryngology practice. Common complications include
bleeding, which can be primary or secondary due to infection of the tonsillar bed. Subcutaneous emphysema
after a tonsillectomy is very rare. We report a 19-year-old girl who developed cervicofacial subcutaneous
emphysema several hours after tonsillectomy with successful conservative treatment outcome.
