    AbstractWe report a patient with subcutaneous emphysema after a bilateral pneumothorax of gigantic extent: Subcutaneous emphysema extended over the chest, neck, axilla and both arms. The scalp was severed from the galea by an enormous air-cushion. Theories about the pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed. Therapy consisted of treatment of the underlying condition e. g. thoracocentesis with pleural drainage and artificial ventilation. The subcutaneous emphysema resolved without further therapeutic measures; only the subgaleal air was removed by aspiration.
