Abstract
Pneumocephalus is a frequent complication of head trauma and cranial surgery unlike pneumoventriculus which is a rare entity. Imaging plays an important role in the positive diagnosis of pneumoventriculus and the CT scan is the key examination in the assessment of skull base fractures. We report the case of one patient presenting with a neglected open head injury following road traffic accident whose computed tomography (CT) brain images confirm skull base fractures with bilateral pneumoventriculus.
