AbstractObjective:We report a case of post-partum surgical cervical emphysema, which is a rare but well recognised complication of labour. By reporting the first case in the ENT literature, we aim to raise awareness of this complication, particularly amongst trainees, to ensure that patients are managed most appropriately.Case report:A 36-year-old, primigravida woman developed neck swelling and odynophagia post-partum. Surgical cervical emphysema was palpated, with further examination excluding pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax. The patient was managed conservatively, with complete resolution of symptoms within a week.Conclusions:Surgical cervical emphysema, pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum are all well recognised post-partum complications. The vast majority of cases do not present with respiratory or cardiac compromise and can be appropriately managed conservatively, with expectation of resolution in a fortnight. There is no evidence that such patients are at increased risk during subsequent pregnancies.

Utmost Care

We present here a case of vasa previa in a multipara, diagnosed at the time of her late second trimester ultrasonogram. The patient subsequently underwent an elective cesarean section after 37 weeks gestation, giving birth to a healthy child with an uneventful post-partum, neonatal and infant course. At the time of cesarean section, the incision was gradually deepened in layers through the myometrium by utmost care allowing the amniotic sac to protrude through the uterine incision hereby avoiding laceration of the vasa previa and its branches. Fetal exsanguination and a need for blood transfusion as well as a possible adverse neonatal course were therefore avoided.
