Rare Case of Tension Pneumocephalus in Thoracic Trauma.
Tension pneumocephalus is the presence of air within the cranial vault compressing the ventricles and the brain parenchyma. High altitudes can exacerbate this problem, especially when a dural defect exists and air is forced into the cranial cavity with no way to escape. This case demonstrates a rare presentation of thoracic trauma causing tension pneumocephalus due to emergent air evacuation.
