A rare case of air in the spinal canal (pneumomyelogram) and brain (pneumocephalus) occurred after head trauma. Despite skull fractures, the patient recovered fully without neurological deficits.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology
  • Trauma Medicine

Background:

  • Blunt head trauma can cause complex injuries.
  • Pneumocephalus and spinal air are uncommon complications.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with pneumocephalus and skull fractures after blunt head trauma.
  • A pneumomyelogram of the cervical spine was identified.

Findings:

  • The patient had no neurological deficits upon presentation.
  • Neurological stability was maintained throughout the hospital course.
  • This is the first reported case of traumatic pneumomyelogram and pneumocephalus with multiple skull fractures without neurological sequelae.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for recovery even with severe traumatic findings.
