[Cervical post-traumatic pneumomyelogram: do not ignore this entity]
Abstract
We report the case of a post-traumatic pneumomyelogram in a 51-year-old woman. The pneumomyelogram associated with a skull base fracture was revealed by systematic total body scan. The discovery of a traumatic pneumomyelogram will be probably more frequently discovered with the largest use of modern helical CT-scan in traumatized patients. We discuss the etiologies and the implications for the anesthesiologist and the intensivist of this entity.
