Article Synopsis
- Pneumorrhachis is a rare radiographic finding, particularly in children, and is often linked to trauma; this case highlights its occurrence in an 8-year-old boy initially seen for a back laceration.
- After treatment for the laceration, the boy experienced severe headaches and vomiting, leading to the discovery of T3 fractures and pneumorrhachus.
- Emergency physicians should consider pneumorrhachis in pediatric patients with penetrating injuries to the spine or related areas, as it may indicate hidden spinal injuries that need evaluation.
