What should an intensivist know about pneumocephalus and tension pneumocephalus? [PDF]
Acute and Critical Care, 2023 The collection of air in the cranial cavity is called pneumocephalus. Although simple pneumocephalus is a benign condition, accompanying increased intracranial pressure can produce a life-threatening condition comparable to tension pneumothorax, which is
