Although most cases of pneumocephalus occur secondary to head trauma, it is possible the mastoid bone defect discovered during surgery may have been the source for air to enter the skull.<A HREF="http://peninggi-badan.com" rel="nofollow">tinggi badan</A> No tumor or infection was noted.

Air in the chest cavity can cause a pneumothorax, and air in the blood are termed "air emboli". Prophylaxis against the latter is the reason syringes are flushed prior to injection (this is frequently seen on television, when the mad professor holds the syringe vertically and squirts out a few milliliters of toxin prior to injecting his victim). An interesting aspect of this case is that a source for the air has not been definitively identified, although the mastoid bone defect would be a plausible point of entry. The report did not comment on leaking CSF (cerebrospinal fluid), particularly with the increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) generated by the air mass. On the other hand, it is possible that miniscule amounts of CSF in the mastoid cavities would be difficult to detect amid all the blood and CSF draining everywhere during neurosurgery.

Hydrocephalous and of course bleeds in the brain. But air just kind of blows my mind. I have to admit, pneumocephalus is something I have never even thought about existing before.
