Pneumocephalus is usually caused by injury that damages the brain meninges and thus allows air to enter the intracranial cavity. Our intention was to establish the importance of considering a stab wound in the neck as a possible cause of traumatic pneumocephalus. The paper presents the case of a 13-year-old girl who was accidentally stabbed in the neck with a kitchen knife by her brother. She had no neurological deficit but had developed headaches. An examination showed cerebrospinal fluid leaking from the neck wound and a CT scan revealed the pneumocephalus. Following surgical treatment, the patient’s clinical symptoms regressed. To our knowledge, this case is the first report of the manifestation of pneumocephalus as the result of a neck stab wound in a child; overall, there are only three reported cases of pneumocephalus caused by a neck stab wound.

Acute idiopathic scrotal edema is a rare cause of acute scrotum that runs a benign course and resolves without sequelae. It is characterised by acute swelling and erythema of the scrotum. Color Doppler imaging typically demonstrates the “fountain sign” that, in the presence of normal testes and epididymis, additionally confirms the diagnosis.In this paper, we review the characteristics of acute idiopathic scrotal edema and report a clinical case.

Vaginalna krvavitev pri deklicah pred menarho je redko, a zaskrbljujoËe stanje. Pojavi se lahko zaradi razliËnih vzrokov. O tem, kdaj opraviti pregled v anesteziji in kolposkopijo, strokovnjaki niso enotnega mnenja. Najpogostejši vzrok vaginalne krvavitve je vulvovaginitis, a so pogoste tudi poškodbe med izvajanjem dejavnosti v vodi. V prispevku predstavljamo primer šestletne deklice z vaginalno krvavitvijo, ki je nastala zaradi masažnih šob v termalnem bazenu.
