Abstract
Spontaneous subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema is a rare but potentially dangerous complication of labour. The condition was observed in an 18-year-old primigravida in the first stage of labour, who subsequently required Caesarean section which was performed under epidural anaesthesia.Keywords
