ABSTRACT
Although moderate amounts of pneumocephalus can be easily identified on routine skull films, very small amounts of air can be easily diagnosed and its location correctly assessed only by computerized tomography. The identification of even a small air collection should alert the clinician to the likelihood of a basilar skull fracture and its potentially serious sequelae such as tension pneumocephalus or meningitis. Authors report and summarize 11 cases of traumatic peumocephalus diagnosed with CT scan.
