Spontaneous pneumocephalus associated with open myelomeningocele.
Myelomeningocele is usually complicated with intracranial infections such as meningitis and ventriculitis. Spontaneous pneumocephalus should be kept in mind as a rare complication of open meningomyelocele. Any patient with open meningomyelocele should be carefully evaluated for pneumocephalus with a cranial USG. This information is useful prognostically as well as has therapeutic implications.
متن کاملOtogenic Pneumocephalus Associated with a Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt
Otogenic pneumocephalus is a condition of intracranial air originating from the middle ear or mastoid air cells. This communication between the intracranial cavity and the pneumatic cavities is usually associated with trauma after cranial fractures or iatrogenic trauma. We present a rare case of otogenic pneumocephalus arising in the left posterior fossa from wellpneumatized mastoid air cells. ...

A 61-year-old man with critical aortic stenosis underwent aortic valve replacement. Mechanical ventilation was applied because of postoperative acute pulmonary edema accompanied by poor ventilation and poor oxygenation, and the patient was also recannulized to an extracorporeal membranous oxygenator.

متن کاملPneumocephalus after Tympanomastoidectomy: A Case Presentation
Introduction: Pneumocephalus is the presence of air or gas within the cranial cavity. It can occur following otorhinolaryngological procedures. A small pneumocephalus spontaneously heals without any treatment. In severe cases, conservative therapy includes a 30-degree head elevation, avoidance of the Valsalva maneuver, analgesics, osmotic diuretics, and oxygen therapy. Case Report: A 56-year-...
متن کاملPneumocephalus associated with Bacteroides fragilis meningitis.
Gas within the intracranial cavity (pneumocephalus) commonly results from trauma or after surgery and rarely from infection by gas-forming organisms. The presence of pneumocephalus in the absence of injury or surgery should raise the suspicion of anaerobic infection of the central nervous system. I present a case of pneumocephalus associated with Bacteroides fragilis meningitis where the diagno...
