Transnasal Endoscopic Treatment of Tension Pneumocephalus Caused by Posttraumatic or Iatrogenic Ethmoidal Damage

Goran Latif Omer,
Riccardo Maurizi,
Beatrice Francavilla
et al.

Abstract: Background. Tension pneumocephalus is a neurosurgical emergency caused by progressive accumulation of air in the intracranial spaces mediated by a valve mechanism. Tension pneumocephalus usually presents with headaches, reduced consciousness, and even death. One of the most common causes is an ethmoidal defect resulted by nasal surgery or facial traumas. Methods. A literature review about tension pneumocephalus resulting from ethmoidal damages was performed. Surgery strategies included decompression by frontal… Show more

“…Recent studies have explored various endoscopic techniques that simultaneously address the resolution of traumatic tension pneumocephalus (TP) and the closure of the bone defect responsible for cerebrospinal fluid leakage in a single surgical stage (6,7). The development of new techniques and more angulated instruments for endoscopic surgery has increased the possibility of accessing more challenging endonasal areas (8).…”
