A traumatic pneumomylogram, indicated by air in the cerebrospinal fluid, suggests a skull base fracture. Immediate cessation of nitrous oxide is crucial to prevent increased intracranial pressure.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Severe head injuries can result from falls.
  • Radiographic imaging is crucial in diagnosing head trauma.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old male presented with a severe head injury after a fall.
  • Subarachnoid air was detected on a lateral cervical spine radiograph.
  • This finding indicated fractures in the middle cranial fossa.

Findings:

  • The presence of a traumatic pneumomylogram signifies a base of skull or middle cranial fossa fracture.
  • Intracranial subarachnoid air is almost certainly associated with this condition.

Implications:

  • Early recognition of traumatic pneumomylogram is essential.
