Abstract
We present the case of a 40-year-old male Caucasian patient who developed surgical emphysema of the neck five weeks after surgery for exostoses of the external auditory canal. Imaging of the temporal bone demonstrated that the surgery had resulted in entry into the temporomandibular joint. A mechanism is proposed for this novel complication.Keywords
