Abstract
- Pneumocephalus secondary to mastoid surgery is uncommon. Serious sequelae and central nervous system infection may result from inadequate management. It is diagnosed by careful history, physical examination and imaging studies and surgery is the main treatment mode. The aim of surgery is to detect communication between mastoid cavity and brain, and to correct it. We experienced a case of pnumacephalus secondary to mastoid surgery, which we treated with surgery.
