Abstract:
An air ventriculogram was discovered in the context of a minor head trauma evaluation. Its correct attribution to an antecedent epidural anesthesia rather than trauma precluded an unnecessary workup. The relationship between epidural anesthesia and pneumocephalus is emphasized. The development of air ventriculography as a diagnostic tool is discussed as well.
