    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Otogenic pneumocephalus is a rare but serious condition.
    • It involves air accumulating within the cranial cavity secondary to ear-related issues.

    Observation:

    • A review of 54 prior cases and 5 new cases of otogenic pneumocephalus was conducted.
    • The majority of patients were male and over 12 years old.
    • Headache was the most frequent symptom, with the ventricular system being the most commonly affected intracranial space.

    Findings:

    • Trauma, otitis media, and otologic surgery were the primary causes.
    • Tension pneumocephalus occurred in 66% of cases.
    • Mortality was 12%, with deaths attributed to conditions other than pneumocephalus.

    Implications:

    • Pneumocephalus is often undiagnosed until radiographic evaluation due to nonspecific symptoms.
    • Management strategies vary based on tension, symptoms, and etiology.
    • Prompt diagnosis and intervention are vital, especially when the dura is compromised or a CSF leak is present.
