Abstract
The authors present a case of surgical emphysema following intraoral drainage of a buccal space abscess, a complication not previously reported. Surgical emphysema was remedied after removing a penrose drain and conservative treatment, suggesting retention of the drain caused the emphysema.

Keywords : Surgical Emphysema, Intraoral Drainage, Buccal Space Abscess
