In most cases, cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema occurs when air ascends from a pneumomediastinum in one of three ways: as a result of (1) dissection along fascial planes from either the neck or retroperitoneum, (2) perforation of the trachea, bronchus, or esophagus, or (3) alveolar rupture and the migration of air through the interstitium. Once inhaled, particles < 100 nm in particular are efficiently deposited in the respiratory tract (fractional deposition up to 70%), translocate efficiently into the interstitium, and largely evade macrophage clearance (Daigle et al.
