Pneumocephalus is commonly seen after skull and maxillofacial fractures. It can also occur following cerebrospinal fluid leak after skull base surgery and epidural catheter placement. We report a rare case report of a 20-year-old man who developed tension pneumocephalus following implant removal from the spine. He responded well to the conservative treatment without any neurological complications.
气颅常见于颅骨和颌面部骨折后。它也可发生在颅底手术后脑脊液漏及硬膜外导管置入后。我们报告一例罕见病例,一名20岁男性在脊柱植入物取出后发生张力性气颅。他对保守治疗反应良好,未出现任何神经并发症。
