- Abstract
- The presence of pneumocephalus associated with insertion, maintenance, and removal of intravenous catheters is a rare radiographic finding, but may be clinically relevant. Various pathways have been proposed to explain the development of pneumocephalus, but none are well understood. We present a patient with hemicranial pneumocephalus secondary to removal of a central venous catheter as determined by computed tomography, and we propose a possible mechanism of the pneumocephalus.
