| Abstract: | Penumocephalus may be secondary to trauma, neoplasm, infection, or previous surgery. Trauma is the most common underlying etiology of this entity. The air may be epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, intracerebral, or intraventricular. Fractures of the mastoid are the least common source of traumatic penumocephalus and may not be visible on routine radiography of the skull. CT in the axial and coronal planes is an ideal diagnostic tool for demonstration of the penumocephalus as well as the underlying mastoid fracture. |
