Clinical significance of acute traumatic intracranial pneumocephalus.

Abstract:

:Among 1142 patients with head injuries hospitalized in the Neurosurgery Department of Gazi University Medical School during the period between 1979 and 1992, 583 had initial CT scans. A retrospective analysis of these initial CT images revealed intracranial air on admission in only 21 cases. These were classified as acute traumatic intracranial pneumocephalus: a potentially serious complication of head injury. CT scans were re-evaluated so as to reveal whether air was situated in the epidural, subdural, or subarachnoid spaces or intracerebrally; whether associated space-occupying lesions were present and whether the air bubbles were single or multiple. Clinical data such as the presence of persistent rhinorrhea and/or otorrhea, tension pneumocephalus, severity and type of trauma, and outcome were were also assessed to determine the significance of this rare finding.
