The combination of catatonia and pneumocephalus is very rare and literature is very scarce on this topic. Here, we report a patient with pneumocephalus and catatonia after persistent drain dysfunctions and infections after a hydrocephalus due to an aquaduct stenosis. The combination of a catatonic syndrome and pneumocephalus in neurosurgical and intensive care practice is a rare phenomenon. One should consider it in patients after complicated neurosurgery with pneumocephalus.
紧张症与气颅同时出现的情况极为罕见,关于这一主题的文献也非常匮乏。在此,我们报告一例因导水管狭窄导致脑积水,在持续引流功能障碍和感染后出现气颅及紧张症的患者。在神经外科和重症监护实践中,紧张症综合征和气颅同时出现是一种罕见现象。对于接受过复杂神经外科手术且伴有气颅的患者,应考虑到这种情况。
