A 6-year-old child developed head injury and nasal bleeding and showed poor respiratory effort. The computed tomography scan of brain revealed frontal sinus fracture and pneumocephalus, which was causing mass effect on the frontal lobes leading to flattening of their convexity. There was widening of interhemispheric fissure with presence of air within. This mass effect on frontal lobes with separation of the frontal poles has been called "the Mount Fuji sign," and is suggestive of tension pneumocephalus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
