We report the case of a patient who developed a subcutaneous and submucosal emphysema in association with a pneumomediastinum, a bilateral pneumothorax and a pneumoperitoneum. This complication was secondary to oxygen supply via a nasal cannula, which allowed a wrong submucosal pathway previously, created by the traumatic placement of a nasogastric tube. The evolution was uneventful. We comment the pathophysiological mechanism of such a complication and propose simple actions to prevent the reproduction.
