A 16-year-old male presented at Bangur Institute of Neurosciences Neurosurgery Outpatient Department with history of gradually progressive paraparesis for 5 months associated with stiffness, urinary hesitancy, and urge incontinence for last 2 months. Magnetic resonance imaging spine was done which showed cystic intradural extramedullary space occupying lesion at D4/D5 to D9. Patient had 2 episodes of generalized tonic-clonic seizure on the day 4. Computed tomography scan showed pneumocephalus. Histopathological examination report was that of nonspecific inflammatory cyst.

Pneumorachis and pneumocephalus: Case report of a rare blunt chest trauma complication.
Ann Med Surg (Lond)
February 2022
Department of Intensive Care Unit, Mohammed VI University Hospital, Oujda, Morocco.
Introduction: Pneumorachis, air in the spinal canal, is very rare and its association with pneumocephalus following blunt thoracic trauma remains exceptionally uncommon.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 65-year-old patient, a pedestrian hit by a car driving at very high speed. The lesion assessment on admission showed a bilateral hemothorax of moderate abundance, a right pneumothorax of low abundance and a left pneumothorax of moderate abundance, subcutaneous cervico-dorsal emphysema, pneumocephalus and significant pneumorachis at the cervico-dorsal level without fracture of the base of the skull, sinuses or the spine.
Spontaneous, Intrasphenoidal Rupture of Ecchordosis Physaliphora with Pneumocephalus Captured During Serial Imaging and Clinical Follow-Up: Pathoanatomic Features and Management.
World Neurosurg

Department of Radiology, NYU Langone Health, New York, New York, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Ecchordosis physaliphora (EP) is a congenital, uniformly asymptomatic, hamartomatous lesion of the primitive notochord. Herein we report, to our knowledge, the first credible case report of unprovoked intrasphenoidal rupture resulting in recurrent pneumocephalus and cerebrospinal fluid leak, definitively captured over serial imaging during clinical and radiologic surveillance.
Case Description: A 68-year old woman with Marfan syndrome presented to the emergency department with the worst headache of her life.
Symptomatic Pneumocephalus after Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery: Report of 2 Cases.
Stereotact Funct Neurosurg
May 2021
Department of Neurosurgery, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, California, USA,
Background: Symptomatic pneumocephalus is an uncommon complication of cranial surgery. Reports of symptomatic pneumocephalus in deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery are lacking, due to the rarity of this condition. The -authors describe 2 patients who experienced clinically significant intraparenchymal pneumocephalus as a consequence of DBS surgery and report their clinical presentations, treatments, and outcomes.

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common neurosurgical conditions. Despite ongoing efforts, recurrence and reoperation rates after surgical treatment remain high. We synthesize scientific evidence on the treatment of CSDH with biophysical principles and then propose a simple and effective surgical technique aiming to reduce the recurrence rate.
