Abstract
A 1-year-old Goffin cockatoo (Cacatua goffini) presented a soft non-painful and balloon-like mass around the cervical area. Subcutaneous emphysema due to cervicocephalic air sac trauma was diagnosed based on history and physical examination, and was confirmed by radiographic examination. Because the cutaneous tab was unsuccessful, a modified syringe stent was carried out. The bird showed no adverse signs for two weeks after implantation. After surgical removal of the stent, the bird did not reveal subcutaneous emphysema.
