Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •All patients with pneumocephalus detected by CT scan soon after head injury
- •Pneumocephalus should measure at least 10 ml by volumetry in the initial scan or if volumetry cannot be done, the air bubble should measure 3 cm in all dimensions. If there are multiple specks of pneumocephalus, the total diameter in each of the two dimensions should be 3 cm so that the volume is approximately 10 ml by the formula axbxc divided by 2 where a, b and c are the dimensions in orthogonal planes.
Exclusion Criteria
- •1\)Patients who are pregnant in whom CT scans are relatively contraindicated or have to be limited
- •2\)Patients whose pneumocephalus was detected more than 24 hours after the injury.
- •3\)Preexisting CSF rhinorrhea or otorrhea
- •4\)Patients who require immediate cranial neurosurgical intervention or are very likely to have surgery within 5 days
