Traumatic pneumorrhachis associated with cerebral fluid leakage evaluated with magnetic resonance myelography

Abstract

Attention should be paid to cerebrospinal fluid leakage in patients with pneumorrhachis associated with vertebral body trauma. If pneumorrhachis is detected, further imaging investigation and bed rest should be considered as appropriate.
