ABSTRACT
The case report of a 45 years white patient is described who was assisted in the emergency department of Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola University Hospital, Ciego de Ávila province, presenting a facial trauma, due to a fall by a slip and hit in the face with a swimming pool cement border. A cervicofacial emphysema was found when the physical exam was carried out. Computerized axial tomography was indicated, which showed fracture of the medial and lateral walls of the left maxillary sinus. It was decided to use the conservative technique for air extraction by means of the needles placement. The patient had a favorable clinical course and he didn't have relapses.REFERENCES
