ABSTRACT
Pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax are rare complications in the postoperative oral and maxillofacial surgery patient. Review of the sequence of events relating to these two life-threatening conditions emphasizes the importance of awareness of the clinical presentation and pathophysiology of these conditions as well as the need for judicious pulmonary physiotherapy in the intubated patient.

ABSTRACT
A patient presented with acute left ventricular failure, then developed cranial nerve palsies, myopathy, fever and hyperuricemia. Sarcoidosis was not diagnosed until the pulmonary congestion cleared, revealing hilar adenopathy and residual mottling. Thereafter, uveitis was noted and scalene and muscle biopsies confirmed the diagnosis.
