Traumatic facial emphysema is rare in facial trauma. There are various case reports regarding this kind of injury and the route of air intrusion. For diagnosis and treatment, the cause of traumatic facial emphysema must first be considered. We report three cases of traumatic facial emphysema. The first patient, a 16-year-old male, had buccal swelling caused by a facial bruise, and he was diagnosed as having buccal emphysema. The second case, a 21-year-old male, had palpebral swelling and double vision after suffering a facial bruise, and he was diagnosed as having palpebral emphysema. The third case, a 37-year-old male, suffered from double vision and orbital swelling, and he was diagnosed as having orbitopalpebral emphysema accompanying a fracture of the orbital floor. With conservative non-surgical treatment, these symptoms were improved.
