Abstract:
In this report, the author presents an unusual case of a 19-year-old man with delayed intracerebral pneumatocele following a fronto-basal trauma. Clinically the patient demonstrated the frontal syndrome. The diagnosis was established by CT and plain skull X-ray. There was a 7-week interval between the trauma itself and the diagnosis of intracerebral pneumatocele. The patient underwent surgical intervention and the pneumatocele resolved after operation. During the operation it was found that the intracerebral pneumatocele in the right frontal lobe communicated with the ipsilateral ethmoidal sinus. The postoperative course was uneventful. The coincidence of a fronto-basal trauma and contusion of brain may lead to this kind of complications. The author believes that, surgical intervention in this circumstances is recommended.
