Abstract
When we found a patient with a tension pneumocephalus we must think not only about a skull or meningeal defect but also look for other elements that produce gas inside skull under pressure (shunts, cerebrospinal fluid leak between others). Therefore, therapeutic approach has three parts: pneumocephalus drainage, to find and repair entrance of gas and to modify factors that turn pneumocephalus in a tension pneumocephalus.
