Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous otogenic pneumocephalus is a rare condition resulting from air entering the brain due to erosion in the ear area, often linked to low pressure in the skull.
- Surgical treatment typically involves repairing the defect, with lumbar drainage used to help relax the brain and reduce leaks during the procedure.
- A case study of a 66-year-old man showed that while lumbar drainage was intended to help, it instead worsened his condition, leading to serious complications like brain herniation, which only improved after receiving intrathecal saline.
