Cavernous sinus air in a patient with basilar skull fracture: CT identification

W S Bartynski et al. J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1988 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Air within the cavernous sinus resulting from fracture of the wall of the sphenoid sinus was identified by cranial CT in a patient with head injury. Careful search of the skull base is important in post-traumatic pneumocephalus to identify a potential site of CSF leak.
