Two Cases of Traumatic Aerocele Combined by Persistent CSF Rhinorrhea

ABSTRACT

We have experienced two cases of intracerebral aerocele combined by persistent traumatic cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea. All of two cases were diagnosed incidentally during observation in simple skull X-ray films. We performed craniotomy for the repair of the dural fistula and treated successfully. Authors discussed the possible mechanisms of the intracerebral aerocele briefly.
