Pneumocephalus in neonatal meningitis

Naveen Parkash Gupta et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2008 Dec.

Abstract

Pneumocephalus is collection of gas or air within the cranial cavity. This has been described with trauma, cranial surgery, air embolism, and rarely as a result of central nervous system infections. We report a case of diffuse pneumocephalus secondary to Enterobacter cloacae meningitis. The diagnosis was suspected by cranial ultrasound and confirmed by computer tomography.
