Abstract

We report a case of diffuse pneumocephalus due to infection. Brain CT revealed diffuse brain swelling and diffuse pneumocephalus in the ventricular system, subarachnoid space, subdural/epidural space and superior sagittal sinus. CSF disclosed the presence of a yellowish-green pus-like liquid. Polymerase chain reaction was positive for Haemophilus influenza Ag.
