Background Context: Acquired hyperpneumatization of the skull base and upper cervical vertebrae is extremely rare and is thought to occur in patients who habitually perform the Valsalva maneuver or engage in repetitive positive pressure activities such as scuba diving or free diving. Craniocervical hyperpneumatization has been reported to cause intracranial and extracranial pneumatoceles but is not generally considered as a cause of pneumorrhachis (air in the spinal canal). Pneumorrhachis is relatively rare, and usually occurs in a localized form, either in the cervical spine secondary to skull base fractures or in the thoracic spine secondary to pneumomediastinum or pneumothorax.
