We describe a patient with pneumocephalus following an epidural steroid injection (ESI) who presented with altered mental status, headache, focal neurologic findings and seizures. Pneumocephalus has rarely been described following ESI. A 34-year-old female presented with an altered level of
The occurrence of pneumocephalus internus and externus after cervical laminectomy performed in sitting position is reported. Generalised convulsions appeared as clinical signs that were resistant to conventional antiepileptic treatment. Diagnosis was made by identification of air collections in
A 60-year-old man sustained an undisplaced type III odontoid fracture following a fall down a full flight of stairs. His medical history was remarkable for a partial pancreatectomy and splenectomy in 2006 for chronic pancreatitis. This had rendered him diabetic, on insulin, and he required long-term
Pneumocephalus is commonly seen after craniofacial injury. The pathogenesis of pneumocephalus has been debated as to whether it was caused by ball valve effect or combined episodic increased pressure within the nasopharynx on coughing. Discontinuous exchange of air and cerebrospinal fluid due to
The presence of pneumocephalus in a patient without a history of undergoing intracranial or intrathecal procedures is a significant radiographic finding that portends a violation of the dural barrier or the presence of infection. The authors report a case of iatrogenic pneumocephalus that confounded
Seizure after laminectomy for spinal procedure is very rare and has not been reported after lipomyelomeningocele surgery beforehand. Here, two cases of seizure following laminectomy for lipomyelomeningocele are reported. The exact etiology of the event is unknown but anesthetic material,
We report a case of tension pneumocephalus due to scalp-ventricle fistula following trepanation surgery after a 9-year interval. A 68-year-old man had a past history of subarachnoid hemorrhage (unknown etiology) in 1987. At that time, he underwent an operation for ventriculoperitoneal (V.P) shunt
The occurrence of tension pneumocephalus in neurosurgeries done in the supine position is scarcely reported. We present a case of 57-year-old man who developed tension pneumocephalus postoperatively, following cerebral aneurysm surgery, in supine position, where lumbar drainage before clipping
A 46-year-old man presented with severe tension pneumocephalus triggered by mild head injury 7 years after craniotomy. He had a history of subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm, coating of the aneurysm performed via a craniotomy, and a ventriculoperitoneal
We describe the first case of spontaneous acute subdural haematoma (SASH) caused by tension pneumocephalus in a patient who had undergone surgery for sinusitis followed by meningitis many years previously. The patient presented with a seizure and epistaxis. The haematoma was caused by a torn
Pneumocephalus is a well-known condition following head trauma, but is rare as an injury or as a result of surgery of the spine. We present a 76-year-old patient with a rare case of pneumocephalus associated with a cerebrospinal fluid fistula as a complication of surgical treatment for cervical
A 59-year-old man presented with epileptic seizures interpreted as episodic syncope in the past 3 years and the patient had a history of head trauma about 4 years ago. Computed tomography revealed an ossified chronic subdural hematoma involving the right frontotemporoparietal region, which was
