Pneumocephalus is generally secondary to direct damage to the skull base. Spontaneous intracerebral pneumatocele without head injury was extremely rare, but previously reported as a serious complication of shunt procedures. We describe a 40-year-old man with intracerebral pneumocephalus who previously underwent craniotomy for large frontal convexity meningioma and lumbo-peritoneal shunting.

An 84-year-old man presented to the emergency department following recurrent falls over several weeks and onset of new left-sided weakness. CT of the brain revealed a large air cavity (pneumatocoele) in the right frontal lobe thought to be secondary to an ethmoidal osteoma communicating through the cribriform plate allowing air to be forced into the skull under pressure. Subsequent MRI confirmed these findings and also revealed a small focal area of acute infarction in the adjacent corpus callosum.

Extradural and epicranial pneumatocele is a rare condition. It may complicate with CSF rhinorrhoea and meningitis which can have a fatal outcome. We present a case of delayed post-operative extradural and epicranial pneumatocele in the frontal region following primary repair of the anterior skull base for a traumatic compound craniofacial injury with CSF leakage.

Frontal sinus osteoma with osteoblastoma-like histology and associated intracranial pneumatocele.

Central Coast Pathology, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401, USA.
Osteomas of the cranial sinuses are rare, benign bony tumors that can be complicated by the formation of an intracranial pneumatocele. If not treated promptly, a pneumatocele can lead to abscess formation, meningitis, or ventriculitis. In the present case, an intracerebral pneumatocele was formed when an 18 cm(3) osteoma breached the posterior wall of the frontal sinus creating a one-way valve through which air could enter the intracranial cavity.
