Abstract
We present an exceptionally rare case of spontaneous otogenic intraventricular pneumocephalus which resulted in a decline in mentation and neurologic deficit. The case involves a 58-year-old female who was subsequently treated with ventriculostomy and middle fossa craniotomy with repair of bony defect and dural closure. This case demonstrates an unusual presentation of pneumocephalus necessitating ventriculostomy in addition to the traditional repair of a cerebrospinal fluid fistula.
