Spontaneous pneumocephalus related to CSF shunting and pneumosinus dilatans in a patient with a large cavernoma.
S pneumocephalus is a rare entity that neurosurgeons may encounter in patients with idiopathic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea.1 Very rarely, it can be caused by shunts, a complication that has been reported in 37 cases in the literature up to 2001.1 The association between spontaneous pneumocephalus and pneumosinus dilatans (PSD) is extremely rare and has been reported in the literature ...
متن کاملSpontaneous pneumocephalus caused by the association of pneumosinus dilatans and meningioma. Case illustration.
Pneumosinus dilatans (PSD) refers to an abnormally enlarged, air-filled paranasal sinus without radiological evidence of localized bone destruction, hyperostosis, or mucous membrane thickening. This disorder has been associated with meningioma, especially optic nerve sheath meningioma, but its pathophysiology remains unclear. Spontaneous pneumocephalus is an exceptional presentation of PSD and,...
متن کاملPneumosinus dilatans frontalis: a case report.
Deformity of the forehead is usually the first clinical presentation of the abnormally large frontal sinus caused by pneumosinus dilatans. We report the diagnosis and surgical treatment of a case. The type of osteotomy we describe is recommended as a method of surgical treatment for this condition when the aesthetic problem is the major complaint.
متن کاملPneumosinus dilatans of the sphenoid sinus.
Four cases of pneumosinus dilatans of the sphenoid sinus are reported, supplementing the eight cases previously reported in the literature. This rare entity is characterized by expansion of a paranasal sinus that contains only air. In one patient, severe visual loss due to compression of the optic canal by the adjacent enlarged sinus was seen. Galactorrhea occurred in one patient, and three of ...
متن کاملComplex Frontal Pneumosinus Dilatans Associated with Meningioma: A Report of Two Cases and Associated Literature Review
Introduction Pneumosinus dilatans (PSD) is a rare phenomenon involving the expansion of the paranasal sinuses, without bony destruction or a mass. Previously documented cases have demonstrated simple expansion of a solitary air cell. We present two unique cases of PSD in the presence of meningioma, in which complex new cells developed within the frontal sinus. One of the two patients developed...
