Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Pneumocephalus is the presence of air within the cranial vault.
  • It is associated with head trauma (0.5-1.0%), neurosurgery, infection, or neoplasms.
  • Pathophysiology involves craniodural fistulas, air ingress via ball-valve mechanisms, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks.
